FAQs

Question: Why use preservatives when there is no water? 

Answer: Yes, water-based products require large amounts of preservatives. Hair care products break down over time, and most ingredients are water-soluble. We used preservatives because anhydrous hair cream products can be unknowingly exposed to moisture penetration. Preservatives help prevent contamination if exposed due to improper storage.
