    9. I have recently purchased your cosmetics – two Youth Activators with Retinol and Vitamin C and was disappointed to discover that they contain phenoxyethanol. I thought that as an ecological company, you do not use this preservative. I guess not all of your cosmetics are ecological.  

     

    In our portfolio you will find both ecological cosmetics, conserved with Sodium Dehydroacetate (it is a chemical preservative approved by Ecocert) and conventional series, conserved with phenoxyethanol. Ecological lines are: Eco Linea, Eco Garden and Eco Body. Youth Activators you have purchased are not ecological and the preservative used in them is more than safe and approved also in cosmetics for babies.

    In case of any doubts regarding safety of use of any ingredients in our cosmetics I recommend the use of reliable source of information such as European committee webpage. You will find also SCCS opinion regarding phenoxyethanol. Currently the preservative is allowed to use in all cosmetic products in a concentration <1% (attachment V, pos. 29, directive 1223/2009/WE). In its opinion Committee confirmed that phenoxyethanol  used as a preservative in a concentration up to 1% in all cosmetic products (including products for babies <3 y/o) is safe.

    Detailed opinion SCCS can be found:
