Essential Wholesale introduces the Organic Preserved Bases Line using a unique and innovative preservative system. We have combined the properties of rooibos extract, vitamin E, black willow bark extract, rosemary oleoresin and neem oil at specific levels that have created a synergetic preservative system that will revolutionize natural products.
The preservative system is broad spectrum and stable, however the products do require special handling and packaging. Air and light can react with these products. We recommend that you package these products in tubes, airless pumps, bottles with pumps or treatment pumps that are opaque or darkly colored. It is also recommended that you scent and package the product all at once. The head space in a half full bulk container can cause discoloration and allow evaporation to change the consistency of the product.
The products also have a unique odor that comes from the preservative system, which can be masked with essential oils. All of the products are designed to be stable with only the addition of essential oils or fragrance oils. Adding herbs or other additives could compromise the preservative system. The products will require .5% to 3% essential oil depending on the essential oil. For instance, jasmine could be added at .5%, peppermint at 1% and most citrus essential oils at 2%. We recommend that you order samples and become familiar with these products prior to placing an order. Color variation can be expected for this product line. The extract can cause color variations from batch to batch. We are doing everything we can to control variations as much as possible, however this is a completely natural product and natural variation cannot be controlled.
All products should be stored in a cool dark place with stable and consistent temperature. Typical room temperature is 68-77 degree F (20-25 degrees C) which is the perfect storage temperature for cosmetics. When cosmetics of any kind are stored at higher temperatures the preservative system is significantly deteriorated. A good rule of thumb: one week stored at temperatures higher than 85 degrees F will spend three months of most products shelf life.
