Because the only thing that should be glowing is your skin, not the fuzzy stuff growing in your jar.
We pour our hearts into creating the most magical and clean products to make you feel like the God or Goddess you are. But today, we gotta talk about something that might make you squirm a little. Trust me, it’s crucial for certain products: preservatives.
Okay, hold up! I can already hear you screaming, “That’s a chemical! Ewww!” And trust me, I get it. When I first started crafting these handmade goodies, I wanted to keep the ingredient list shorter than a pixie’s attention span, limiting those nasty chemicals you find everywhere else. However, this one can’t be skipped if you want to love your lotions to the last drop.
Water: The Perfect Brew for Life… and Bacterial Mayhem in Skincare
Water is freaking amazing. It hydrates your skin, helps our luxurious ingredients blend like a dream, and gives our lotions that incredible feel. BUT (and this is a big, juicy but), water is also a breeding ground for microscopic party crashers – bacteria, mold, yeast, you name it.
Think about leaving a glass of water out for a few days. Cloudy? Slimy? Yep, that’s the microbial party in full swing. Now, imagine that thriving in your gorgeous jar of Lunar Luxe lotion. Not exactly the high-vibe self-care ritual you signed up for.
Why You NEED Preservatives in Water-Based Handmade Skincare
Without effective preservatives, those water-loving little shits would multiply faster than rabbits in your products. This leads to a whole host of nasty issues that kill your self-care vibe and can even be dangerous:
- Spoilage: Your beautiful, handmade lotion or wash could change color, smell funky as hell, or even sprout visible mold. Gross.
- Reduced Effectiveness: Those potent, beneficial ingredients we carefully selected for your skin? They break down. You’re not getting the full moon magic you paid good money for!
- Potential Health Risks: This is the real shit. Using contaminated products can cause skin irritation and infections, and nobody has time for that mess. Your health and safety are our absolute top priority, babes.
Honestly, without a proper preservative system, your lotion might only last a few weeks, maybe even just a few days, even in the fridge. And who the hell wants that?

At Lunar Luxe Creations, we are committed to using preservatives that are both effective at keeping the bad juju away and safe for your precious skin.

However , we have since found an even better preservative that is more natural than the other ones we used in the past. It was not an easy product to get, but we cared and found a way.
