Preservatives are crucial in cosmetics and personal care products to prevent bacterial, mold, and yeast growth, ensuring product safety and longevity. Common preservatives include parabens, phenoxyethanol, and natural options like potassium sorbate. Brands now emphasize preservative-free or naturally preserved formulas to meet consumer demand for safer, cleaner beauty products.
