About Cosmetic preservative "Ceramedic"
Ceramedic is a highly safe, hypoallergenic, and highly effective preservative for cosmetics.
Conventional preservatives for cosmetics have often used parabens as a means of suppressing microorganisms and bacteria that may occur in cosmetics. However, there are concerns that parabens may cause strong skin irritation.
Ceramedic is an inorganic cosmetic preservative made by loading silver ions onto crystalline aluminosilicates, and is attracting attention as an alternative to parabens.
