This is a terrifying title for a cosmetic blog post. I'm really not one of those people who earn their living by terrifying others but I think "contaminated cosmetics" and their dangers and side-effects are simply being completely overseen and neglected by those people striving for a "chemical" free and "safe" cosmetics.
I have been dedicate plenty of time and effort during the last years to teach people (formulation students, aesthetician students, DIY cosmetic-crafters and small scale entrepreneurs and start-ups) the necessity of sufficient preservation of cosmetics and the adverse effects of not-preserving or non-sufficient preserving of cosmetics.

This is a blog post of mine, recently published by Formula Botanica. Please read it completely, before you decide NOT to apply any preservative in your home made products or before you search for preservative-free cosmetics.
May all your cosmetics remain free of contaminants
