Another non-preserved product…
I don’t want to be the regulatory police, but I just don’t get how brands get away with things like this. This was sent to me by a client. It is an “essence/toner” that has absolutely no preservative listed. So they are either not disclosing the preservative, or they just don’t have one at all.
I know salicins in Willow Bark have anti-microbial properties (for skin), and Sodium Lactate can boost preservation action when combined with an actual broad-spectrum preservative, but neither of these would provide that protection used solo or combined, right?
I scratch my head in disbelief when I see shit like this. This is from an Australian brand that has been known to have product spoilage and recalls, largely due to using the “natural” ferments…
I can’t imagine how this would ever pass PET.

If they don’t test it, they can’t fail! /S

I have seen a patent of niacinamide at pH below 3. Maybe pH of this product is also below 3.

It is Australian brand “R…….”, right?
I’m not very familiar with this brand though, but from what I recalled they ran their marketing on Naturopathy(?), so this product likely have no preservative, if it does they would have to declare it in LOI.
@MattTheChemist - if your client insists on no preservative then good luck to you Matt, may mother earth protect your formula.

@pattsi Yes, that is correct about the “R” name…
The client doesn’t want to avoid preservatives. At all. The product was just presented to me and I saw how ridiculous it was and I explained that to her.
