Our products contain natural preservatives. If there is one drop of water in a natural product—even in the form of aloe vera gel—a preservative of some type is generally needed to maintain freshness and guarantee the shelf life of the formulation. Any natural product that is not a powder, solid soap or strictly oil-based, requires a preservative even if it's not listed on the label. 

We do not utilize toxic preservatives. Among the ones we do use are Rosemary Verbenone, Vitamin E and other Antioxidants, Honeysuckle, and Aspen Bark. Many of the essential oils we use also have preservative properties.

Most of our natural organic products for skin care do not contain any preservatives and are prepared in small batches, fresh weekly, to make sure they do not require much preservation. We use synthetic-free ingredients that can have a longer shelf life or when combined they synergistically and naturally preserve the products. When needed we add natural preservatives such as organic Rosemary Verbenon, Grapeseed extract, and Vitamin E. They are not as strong as parabens and it is one of the reasons why we make our products fresh and in small batches. We highly recommend using our skincare products consistently once they are purchased, for better preservation and importantly, more effective, visible, and satisfying results. Everything we make is free of fillers and artificial fragrance. Just the good stuff for you and your skin.

At Rosemira we do not use commercial preservatives in our organic products, therefore this is a very important question. Each product has a different shelf life which is dependent on the natural ingredients used. Our body butters, bath salts, and body scrubs should be used within 6-8 months from date of purchase. Our organic toners and serums are good for up to a year. Our natural cleansers and moisturizing creams are the most delicate products we sell. They are comprised of ingredients that are somewhat perishable even prior to mixing and thus once they are put together they do have a relatively short shelf life as far as commercial lines go. We make our products per order and they are shipped within 2 weeks from date of creation, thus by the time you use them their shelf life should last the life of the product, 3-4 months.

In order to preserve and extend the fresh quality of these precious products they should be kept away from heat and extreme temperature fluctuations. Except for our main line of Moisturizing Creams, the rest of our products including the Shea Butter Line of Moisturizing Creams and the Divine Honey Rose Replenishing Cream, all do well under refrigeration, extending their shelf life significantly.

We do not expect lettuce to last more than a few days. Why would we expect any living product to have an unlimited shelf life unless it is no longer a living product, in which case it would have an unlimited shelf life and I personally would not want to ingest it or put it on my skin.
