Preservation & Stability
What this group includes
Preservation and stability ingredients help maintain product freshness, performance, and safety over time.
This group may include ingredients such as phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, potassium sorbate, and other components that support formula integrity.
Why we use them
These ingredients help protect products from microbial growth and degradation, ensuring they remain safe and effective throughout their intended use.
Why they’re considered safe
- Used at carefully controlled levels
- Evaluated and permitted by global cosmetic regulatory authorities
- Selected for compatibility with sensitive and medically vulnerable skin
Good to know
Preservation systems are chosen based on the complete formula, not individual ingredients alone. Their role is to support safety—not disrupt the skin.
The Lotus Standard
All preservation and stability ingredients are reviewed for safety, tolerance, and long-term performance as part of the complete formulation.
