Preservation Without Compromise
How MYTH Maintains Product Safety Naturally
When you care about what goes on your skin and hair, you shouldn’t have to choose between clean ingredients and product safety. At MYTH Grooming, we believe in delivering effective, long-lasting products—without relying on harsh preservatives or unnecessary chemicals. Here’s how we keep your grooming essentials fresh, safe, and high performing, the natural way.
Why Preservation Matters
- Product Safety:
Grooming products—especially those with natural oils and butters—can be vulnerable to bacteria and mold if not properly preserved. - Shelf Life:
Effective preservation ensures your products last as long as you need them, maintaining their texture, scent, and benefits. - User Experience:
No one wants to open a jar and find it separated, rancid, or ineffective. Preservation protects your investment.
MYTH’s Approach to Clean Preservation
- No Parabens or Harsh Chemicals:
You won’t find parabens, sulfates, or formaldehyde donors in any MYTH Grooming product. These common preservatives can be harsh on sensitive skin and are often linked to irritation. - Natural Preservation Methods:
We use carefully selected natural preservatives and antioxidant-rich ingredients that help prevent spoilage and maintain freshness. These may include: - Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Naturally extends shelf life by protecting oils from oxidation.
- Essential oils: Many have natural antimicrobial properties.
- Air-tight packaging: Minimizes exposure to air and contaminants.
- Rigorous Testing:
Every batch undergoes manual product and bacterial testing using purchased kits, ensuring consistency and safety across all units.
