Why are preservatives used in Oriflame Cosmetics products?
Preservatives are used in a cosmetic formulation to ensure the shelf life of a product. Oriflame’s cosmetic products contain minimum amounts of preservative while ensuring optimal efficacy. For safety and environmental reasons, we have a restricted list of approved preservatives, and only use those with a long history of safe use in cosmetic products, including parabens (ethyl, methyl, propyl), phenoxyethanol and imidazolidinyl urea. Most preservatives used are classed group 1 or 2 “good environmental choice” by the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation.
