Why Preservative-Free Skincare Matters
Most skincare products contain preservatives to extend shelf life. While this benefits mass production and storage, it doesn’t always benefit the skin.
For many people, preservatives can contribute to irritation, sensitivity, and imbalance, especially with daily, long-term use. Preservative-free skincare takes a different approach: one that prioritises skin compatibility over shelf stability.
Oil-based formulations, like Aiso’s natural New Zealand botanical oils, contain no water and therefore don’t require synthetic preservatives. The result is skincare that works with the skin, not against it.
The Benefits of Going Preservative-Free
Kind to sensitive skin
Fewer additives mean fewer potential triggers for irritation, redness, or reactivity.
Supports natural hydration
Oils reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, helping to retain moisture and deliver nutrients without disruption.
Designed for daily use
Simple, preservative-free formulations are well suited to regular use, even on delicate facial skin.
Better for the Planet, Too
Preservative-free skincare often has a lighter environmental footprint.
With fewer synthetic chemicals, less residue enters waterways. Thoughtfully sourced plant oils also support more sustainable, low-impact production methods and align naturally with cruelty-free practices.
