BIOselect Products DO NOT contain HARSH PRESERVATIVES Preservatives are synthetic substances which extend the shelf life of cosmetic products. We do not use Harsh Preservatives like Parabens because: They can cause allergies. They can be responsible for skin sensitivity. They can be harmful and are considered as carcinogenic and toxic. Instead of using these compounds, we replaced them with mild compounds and special blends of natural extracts which maintain the microbiological stability of BIOSELECT ™ cosmetics.
POLYETHYLENE GLYCOLS (PEG) / POLYPROPELENE GLYCOLS (PPG) These are synthetic substances used in ‘’traditional’’ cosmetics for many years. Instead of using PEG/PPG, we replaced them with plant-origin compounds which: Have moisturizing properties. Are compatible with all skin types. Do not cause any allergies.
PROPYLENE GLYCOL (PG) Propylene Glycol is the most common extraction solvent for the plant extracts and has synthetic origin. We do not to use PG because it may cause various types of dermatitis and allergies. We replace it with other solvents that are safe and more compatible with the skin.
PETROCHEMICALS Petrochemicals and their derivatives (mineral oil, Vaseline, etc) are synthetic compounds derived from processing petroleum. We do not to use Petrochemicals because they block the skin pores thus not letting the skin ‘breathe’.
