|---|---|
| Rosa Damascena Flower Water Soothing/aromatic floral water (hydrosol) | Rosa Damascena Flower Water is a water-based distillate of damask rose petals used in skincare as a mild humectant, toner, and fragrance component. It provides light soothing and astringent properties but contributes minimal active treatment benefit. |
| Geogard Natural Preservative Preservative | Geogard Natural Preservative is a nature-derived broad-spectrum antimicrobial blend, typically based on benzyl alcohol and dehydroacetic acid, used to protect water-containing cosmetic formulations from bacterial, yeast, and mold contamination. It is commonly chosen for natural and eco-certified products as an alternative to parabens or formaldehyde releasers. |
