At Burt’s Bees, we believe every ingredient in our formulas should serve a purpose, and we strive to make our products with 100% natural ingredients.
But preserving natural formulas, especially those that contain water, can be challenging. A few of our formulas are made safe for use through 1-2% non-natural preservatives. When we must use a non-natural preservative, we always choose non-paraben, non-formaldehyde donating preservatives such as phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate and ascorbyl palmitate.
