Preservatives in skincare often get a bad reputation, especially in clean beauty brands enthusiasts. But, did you know that some types of preservatives are actually necessary for your products to be safe for use and to keep the formula effective after opening?
Here at NUME-Lab Switzerland, we’re all about Halal ingredients and clean beauty skincare. But, even we have to admit that using a non-toxic preservative is necessary. It’s the lesser evil. The other one would be a moisturizer that grows mold and bacteria, and we definitely don’t want those things on our skin.

Let’s dive in and bust all the myths about preservatives in skincare.
