OUR PRESERVATIVES
While some of our products still contain less than 1% of phenoxyethanol, a very safe level of preservative, we are phasing out the use of this preservative to use Geogard and Vegecide, two natural preservatives. Geogard is eco-certified, and both of these preservatives protect products from growth of a wide range of micro organisms. While preservatives prevent growth and prolong the shelf life of skincare, it is always recommended to not let any cosmetics or skin care products sit for too long. It is always best to use topical products within the first three months of purchase. Our products have a much longer shelf life, but we do recommend that you use the products you purchase immediately and consistently for best results.
FRAGRANCES
We use food grade vanilla in many of our products because of its gentle, fragrant aroma. We use essential oils not only for their fragrance, but also for their benefits to skin. We also use proprietary essential oil blends sourced from suppliers to give our products a variety of scents. Because these blends are proprietary to our supplier, we cannot fully identify the ingredients. However, we do identify all known ingredients to avoid allergic reactions, and we do not use any synthetic fragrances.
All of the ingredients used by Bel Essence are sourced for their quality and sustainability so you can be confident that the products you buy contain the best that nature offers..
