    Hi,

    I was wondering if the following ingredients need preservatives after mixing and putting them in a closed pump container.
    Ingredients are Caprylic/capric triglyceride 60%, Cyclopentasiloxane 30% and Dimethicone 10%. 
      
    NB: K.F. value (water traces) for CCT is 1% maximum.

    Unless you keep them in a wet environ (shower) where it might be opened, then no. There is little (no) risk of microbial contamination when the water level is that low.
