When a product is water-based, adding a preservative is essential to ensure its safety and quality. Water-based products, like our serums, are susceptible to the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and mold. By using preservatives, we can prevent these microorganisms from multiplying, which extends the product’s shelf life and ensures that it is safe for skin use.

Geogard is popular among natural cosmetics manufacturers because it is approved for use in many natural and organic-certified products. It provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, meaning it prevents the growth of both bacteria and fungi in products. This helps to extend the shelf life of cosmetic products in a safe and natural way.

Why Geogard?

  • Gentle and Skin-Friendly: Suitable for products specifically designed for sensitive skin.
  • Eco-Certified: It is approved for use in COSMOS and ECOCERT-certified products, making it an excellent choice for natural cosmetics.
  • Effective Broad-Spectrum Protection: Geogard 221 provides protection against both bacteria and fungi, which is crucial for water-based products where microorganisms can easily proliferate.

By using Geogard, we ensure that our serums remain safe, clean, and effective throughout their entire usage period, while adhering to the principles of natural cosmetics. This ensures that you can trust the quality of our products and enjoy them without concern.

The amount of preservative in the product is very small but sufficient to guarantee its safety.

A bi-phase serum is a two-part skincare product that contains both an oil and a water base. Before use, the serum is shaken to mix the two phases. Bi-phase serums do not require emulsifiers, which are typically used to combine water and oil. Because a bi-phase serum does not need emulsifiers, the amount of active ingredients in the product is higher. The oil locks in moisture, while the water-based part hydrates and refreshes the skin.

Many of the ingredients we use offer multiple benefits for skincare. For example, black currant seed oil has moisturizing, antioxidant, and soothing properties. Each serum is carefully formulated with ingredients that work perfectly together to achieve the desired effect. By using the same ingredients, like black currant seed oil, in different concentrations, we can tailor the serums to meet various skincare needs. A higher concentration may focus on intense hydration and skin protection, while a lower concentration can provide lighter care. This way, we ensure that each serum supports the skin's natural balance and provides diverse benefits in just the right way.

Yes, it's completely normal! Sometimes, small plant particles may appear in the serum, and this is entirely natural.
