Consumer Safety
When we speak about customer safety we are referring to the preparation methods and protection of our products from contamination from the time the product is manufactured up until the product has reached its best or use by date.
Herbal Ointment
There is no way to manufacture products for skin care without using anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and/or anti-viral agents. Our ointments are known in the industry as ‘water in oil’ mixtures which require almost no preservation as bacteria and mould find it very difficult to live in an oily environment. However we believe the ointment should contain some form of preservative action in order to ensure that micro-organisms do not cause any problems for the consumer. Our ointment is likely to be frequently touched by the consumer and therefore has a greater risk of becoming contaminated. We tackle the microbial issues by using naturally derived preservatives at a combined concentration of less than 0.5%..
