Allergy Caution | Product Appearance | Preservatives mVua® uses the tropical oasis of nature as its core in producing products that will quench the thirst that is experienced by skin and hair that loves moisture. Please be sure to note the ingredients listed on each product page, prior to purchase. If the product includes an ingredient to which you have never used before, please be sure to do a test patch before proceeding with use. mVua® cannot be held responsible for the sensitivity or the reaction to any particular ingredient. We are not evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, we do not have the intent, nor the ability to diagnose or treat any medical conditions. A medical health care provider should always be contacted with regards to any medical condition. ***PRODUCT APPEARANCE*** All items are Handcrafted, using many jewels of nature that are in their raw state. That being so, there may be a slight difference in the color or consistency of products between each batch that is made. This is normal/expected and will not affect the effectiveness of the product. ***PRESERVATIVES*** There are many thoughts and opinions with respects to the use of preservatives. To date, a preservative completely from nature, has not yet been discovered with the ability to stabilize products containing moisture rich ingredients such as aloe vera, coconut milk, etc., that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold which could cause us harm. Until that discovery is made, we have to use what is currently available to keep us safe. Based on our formulations, mVua's preservative of choice is Germall Plus – (paraben free) broad spectrum preservative. One of the wonderful things about handcrafted natural products is that the products typically only require a small amount of preservative for stability. mVua® uses a rate of no more than 0.5% of any given formula requiring a preservative. Our Oil Based Products do not contain this preservative, as it is not necessary for product stability in such products.
