What you put on your skin matters

Most people look at active ingredients. Very few look at preservatives.

But preservatives are in almost every skincare product and they can make a big difference in how your skin feels and reacts.

At Nairobi Skincare, we believe preservation should protect your product, not stress your skin.

Many skincare brands use aggressive or controversial preservatives

because they are cheap, stable, and easy to formulate with.

Common examples include:
• Phenoxyethanol
• Parabens (such as Methylparaben, Propylparaben)
• Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (like DMDM Hydantoin)
• Benzyl Alcohol (in high concentrations)
• MIT / CMIT (Methylisothiazolinone / Methylchloroisothiazolinone)

While effective at preventing microbial growth, these preservatives can sometimes contribute to:
• skin irritation
• increased sensitivity
• dryness
• disruption of the skin barrier

For skin that is already dry, sensitive, or stressed, harsh preservatives can make things worse.

Our philosophy: Gentle yet effective preservation

We believe skincare should protect your skin, not expose it to unnecessary stress.

That’s why we carefully choose natural-origin preservatives that keep our formulas safe and stable, while remaining gentle on your skin.

We genuinely care about what touches your skin every day. When harsh or aggressive ingredients enter your skincare routine, they can quietly disrupt your skin’s balance over time. And that’s something we refuse to compromise on.

Instead, we use:

Blend 1388 Eco Plus
A naturally derived preservative system designed to protect the formula while remaining skin-friendly and well tolerated.

Natural Pentylene Glycol
A plant-derived multifunctional ingredient that not only supports preservation, but also helps hydrate and condition the skin.

These ingredients are widely accepted in natural and eco-conscious formulations because they strike the right balance: effective protection without unnecessary harshness.

Because protecting your product should never mean challenging your skin.

At Nairobi Skincare, every ingredient, even the preservatives, is chosen with your skin’s long-term comfort and balance in mind.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

“My redness used to be so noticeable that I felt like I couldn’t hide it, even with makeup. After a few weeks of using this, the redness visibly calmed down and my skin looks so much more even, healthy, and radiant.”

That’s why we use carefully selected ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, known for its ability to attract and retain moisture. This helps support your skin barrier and maintain long-lasting hydration.

Unlike many products that provide only temporary moisture, our formulas are designed to help your skin stay hydrated, soft, and comfortable for longer.

Each product is made with a focus on quality, effectiveness, and real results. No diluted formulas. No unnecessary fillers. Just ingredients that help support your skin the way it’s meant to function.
