Hi Belinda, I would like to know your thoughts on using neem extract as a preservative? A friend of mine uses a product that contains no preservative but neem leaf extract as the first ingredient and it concerned me but he said that neem works as a preservative. It seems too good to be true to me.

Does the Cosmetic chemist just pick and choose the ingredients based on the Brief? How do you know which ingredients can work/not work together?
