Cosmetic preservatives are derived from natural or synthetic ingredient. They are used as antioxidants, antimicrobials and stabilizers. To protect the product from contamination during use and to prevent product damage caused by microorganisms, the use of cosmetic preservatives is necessary. However, just like food, without preservatives cosmetic products can become contaminated, leading to product damage and possibly irritation or infection. The use of contaminated cosmetic on the skin can cause major problems, whereas, preservatives help prevent such problems. Cosmetics are very good medium for growth of microbes because they contain water, oils and carbohydrates. All these factors contribute to the fact that cosmetic products need good preservatives to prevent spoiling and microbial growth of the cosmetic products. However, every cosmetic formulation requires a particular preservative system to meet its specific needs.
