A Note on Being Preservative Free....
Preservatives are loaded into most commercial products allowing them to keep their freshness during the long span between the time they are manufactured and when the customer finishes using them. Preservatives do a great job at keeping products free from bacteria but preservatives themselves are often unhealthy.
Sadly, it's true, natural products will not stay fresh as long as commercial products. So what's an all Natural, handcrafted product maker to do?
Well for starters, Earth Department uses 14,000 I.U 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, GMO-free Vitamine E oil. Vitamin E contains antioxidants which extend the life of our products. Additionally, our work surfaces and tools are always clean and sterile throughout the creation process ensuring no contaminate is introduced to any batch. We also make and sell our products in small batches so they can be used within a short period of time.
What can you do to maintain the life span of your all-natural, handcrafted product?
- Keep a lid on it! Natural products can oxidized when exposed to air for too long.
- Store your all natural products in a cool, dry place like a cupboard rather than in a sunlit bathroom where it can be exposed to heat and moisture.
- Try to avoid dipping your fingers into your jars and containers. Instead use a clean spoon or popsicle stick to get the amount you need for each use and keep water out!
Think of your all-natural product the same way you think about your food. Sure it may be more convenient to buy overly processed, preservative packed food that can sit in your fridge or cupboard for what seems like a lifetime and never mold or go rancid, but it certainly is not the healthy choice.
All our products should be used within 1-2 months after first use.
