Preservatives are essential to our products – they prolong the shelf life by keeping our products free from contamination and help retard rancidity in our oils.  Preservatives help prevent microbial growth in our products, which can cause separation of our emulsions, speed up rancidity of our oils and butters, and cause strange smells.  If you make a product with water, you need a preservative.

The list of preservatives in this collection are citric acid
