Question

Does a waterless face powder formulation require preservatives?

Answer

For a face powder formulation, which is typically a waterless product, a preservative is generally not required. However, it is very important to ensure the product is stored in a dry place. If the powder becomes damp or wet during use or storage, it can create an environment where microorganisms can grow.
