Safety & Transparency Is Our Priority
READ MORE – Why Preservatives Are Necessary
Preservatives used in products have always been a concern for consumers, especially for your precious little ones. At Boogie and Bean we have made it our top priority to make the safest and most non toxic products for kids. With that said, some of our products must include preservatives and more often than not the most effective preservatives are not made from natural ingredients. In an effort to protect your kids and our products from microbial contamination we carefully select gentle, non-toxic, and globally approved preservatives to ensure our products remain fresh, effective, and micro-biologically safe without compromising on safety. Below is a list of the preservatives we may use, their functions;
