Water is often used as a filler. When water is taken out, the effectiveness of each ingredient goes way up!
Preservatives kill flora (good bacteria) that live on our skin. This is our microbiome and crucial to our health.
Flora are vital to our skin's immune response to allergies, skin diseases, infections, even cancer.
It is important to keep this balance of flora on the skin, where it can protect us. Sans will not ever harm the flora.
Water itself is not bad; we need water. Water sustains life . . . but, therein lies the problem, where there is water, there can be life in the form of bad bacteria and other harmful microbes. So if there is water, even a drop of water in a product that is applied to the skin, a preservative MUST be used. It makes no difference whether the preservative is natural or synthetic, if that preservative is doing its job, it is killing bacteria and microbes that grow in the product . . . this is good. What is not good however, is that the preservative will also kill the beneficial, good bacteria (flora) that live on our skin and protect our immune system. This can severely compromise our health. We must protect our skin flora, our microbiome, for our overall health and wellbeing.

See what the experts sayVery impressive!
I have to say I didn't know what a butter was and didn't know what to expect. This is an incredible product. It is exactly like they say, a whipped butter that moisturizes beautifully. I HIGHLY recommend.

I absolutely LOVE the Night and Day Serums! My skin has never looked better. At age 48, it has even eliminated my need to wear foundation and/or concealer on a daily basis.
