What keeps an open jar safe for twelve months
Any formula containing water can grow bacteria, mold and yeast, and a preservative system is what prevents that between the day you open a product and the day you finish it. Modern systems are usually blends — phenoxyethanol with ethylhexylglycerin, or caprylyl glycol with caprylhydroxamic acid — because a combination covers a wider microbial range at lower individual concentrations.
Nearly every water-based product we carry belongs here, from Revision DEJ Eye Cream and SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex to EltaMD UV Restore SPF 40 and RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner.
Are preservative-free products better for sensitive skin?
Usually not. A genuinely preservative-free water-based product is either single-use, refrigerated, or unsafe after a few weeks. The more useful question is which preservative system a formula uses, not whether it has one at all.
How to shop at ELLEMES
