These “extra” components of many body scrubs and other cosmetics can be indicated by such a fairly long shelf life, such as a year or two. Many cosmetic companies add a lot of dyes, preservatives, which in the future cause problems not only with our skin, but also with health. We hope that we have made a sufficiently convincing argument.
