What is the purpose of the citrus seed extracts used in some skin care products?
The citrus seed extracts used in some Green People formulations form part of our preservative system. All products which contain both oil and water based ingredients such as creams and lotions have the ability to support bacterial growth and need to contain some form of preservative. Green People prefer to use natural ingredients wherever possible and using this citrus seed extract means we can use lesser quantities of preservatives such as potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate.
