Grapefruit Seed Extract

When working with water-based products and botanical oils, maintaining freshness is critical. Grapefruit Seed Extract is one of the tools we use to protect our formulas. It's a thick, golden liquid with a distinct scent that is packed with antioxidant compounds. These compounds help to inhibit the oxidation that can degrade natural ingredients over time.

It is important to be honest about its role. We use it as part of a complete preservation system, not as the sole preservative. It works alongside other ingredients to ensure our water-containing products, like lotions, remain stable and safe for their intended shelf life. It’s a piece of the puzzle that helps us deliver a high-quality, natural product.
