Coconut Oil as a Preservative
Coconut oil is used in Thentix ‘A Touch of Honey’ as a natural preservative. We have removed the parabens from
Thentix that are usually used as a preservative in creams and lotions and replaced them with coconut oil. Coconut oil has the additional benefits of being an emollient and a humectant. (Humectant: absorbs and retains moisture.) Coconut oil is a food grade preservative with anti bacterial and antiseptic properties. Cocunut oil is often used also as a natural remedy for wrinkles and sagging.
So by adding coconut oil to Thentix as a replacement preservative, we have gotten many additional benefits.
