    Hi im starting up a new eyeshadow makeup line here in Australia, I need to know if I need to add preservatives into my mixture, please see my mixture list below:

    sericite mica, arrowroot starch, boron nitride, magnesium stearate & myristate,  calcium carbonate, jojoba oil and vitamin E oil, would this be enough to sell retail or as I said would I need to add some kind of preservative.

    PLease advise

    For an eye product?  ADD a preservative!  Phenoxyethanol perhaps.
