Whether you're formulating professionally or crafting in small batches at home, this preservative offers reliable protection against bacteria, yeast, and mould — without compromising your values. It’s a favourite among natural formulators for a reason. With a mild scent and skin-friendly profile, Preservative Eco blends easily into emulsions and water-based solutions. It works across a broad pH range and is effective at low concentrations, making it ideal for even the most sensitive skincare products. Important to know: This product is manufactured with a 12-month shelf life. When purchased, it typically has between 9 to 6 months of shelf life remaining. As long as you use it before the expiry date, it will still perform effectively in your formulation and preserve your product according to standard guidelines — which can be up to 2 years, depending on your recipe and storage conditions. Why You’ll Love It: Broad-spectrum protection from microbial growth Suitable for creams, lotions, gels, toners & serums Plant-based and gentle on sensitive skin Low usage rate (0.6% – 1%) Works in a pH range of 3 – 8 Helps extend product shelf life up to 24 months (product dependent) Use Preservative Eco to extend the shelf life of your creations naturally and safely — whether you're gifting handmade products or building your own skincare brand.

We recommend adding preservative as the last ingredient of the product. Do not use in products intended for babies and children under 7 years of age. Can be used in rinsing products such as shampoo or body wash Review: Keeps home made cosmetics safe to use. - I chose this because it is natural and a broad spectrum preservative. It arrived quickly with a long expiry date. Although the quantity is small, using it at 1or 2% it will last a long time. The integral dropper in the neck of the plastic bottle allows accurate measurement. So far it has kept my body butters and sugar scrubs fresh and safe to use. Theoretically these don’t need preservatives, but at some point in use they get water contamination and Presevative Eco means they are still safe afterwards. I have sensitive skin and not had any trouble with using this preservative so far. Update 07/03/24. I have just bought my second bottle of this. It’s really good stuff. Review: Great - Perfect for all my formulations. ## Features - You can still use it and it will still work to presevre your products up to 18/24 months depending on the formulation as long as youm ake it before the expirey date.

It can be used to preserve homemade gels like Flaxseed gel but we suggest using the preservative at 1.1% just to be sure the gel is fully preserved. **Q: Can i use this in a room spray please?** A: Thank you for your enquiry. Yes it can. Kind Regards The Aromantic Team **Q: What is the shelf life of this product?** A: The current batch has a best before date of 30/03/2022. However, if used in your formulation before it has passed it's best before date, it will preserve your finished product for 12-18 months. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeps home made cosmetics safe to use. *by M***N on 15 October 2023* I chose this because it is natural and a broad spectrum preservative. It arrived quickly with a long expiry date. Although the quantity is small, using it at 1or 2% it will last a long time. The integral dropper in the neck of the plastic bottle allows accurate measurement. So far it has kept my body butters and sugar scrubs fresh and safe to use.

It’s really good stuff. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by E***H on 5 August 2025* Perfect for all my formulations. ### ⭐⭐ Shelf Life *by A***C on 7 February 2025* Like another customer said, the shelf life is limited. I got it today (07/02/25) and it expires 06/08/25-and then I had to pay for postage? Seriously when it expires in 6 months? I won't by buying this again considering I've purchased preservatives from this brand before, and they've had a much longer shelf life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Preservative Eco – Broad Spectrum Natural Preservative for Water-Based Cosmetics | Ideal for DIY Creams, Lotions & Serums | Gentle, Plant-Based (30 ml (Pack of 1)) - Naissance Vegetable Glycerine (Glycerol) Liquid (no. 806) 250ml - 100% Pure & Natural Glycerin, Premium EP/BP/USP Pharmaceutical Grade, Natural Humectant, Fragrance Free - Naissance Vitamin E Oil (no. 807) 60ml - for Skin, Face, Hair Growth, Scalp, Nails, Cuticles, Scars - Natural & Plant-based --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/203985588-preservative-eco-broad-spectrum-natural-preservative-for-water-based-cosmetics](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/203985588-preservative-eco-broad-spectrum-natural-preservative-for-water-based-cosmetics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
