I'm allergic to some preservatives, what's that Benzyl something-something I see you guys are using?Updated a year ago

Every skincare product needs some form of preservative, and at Go-To we use nasty-free ones, readily available in nature. The only benzyl derivative in Go-To is benzyl alcohol which is in Properly CleanVery Useful Face Cream,Exfoliating SwipeysNifty FiftyThe Repair ShopTransformazingSkin Party and Super Handy. It is a naturally occurring compound commonly found in fruits, teas and essential oils like jasmine, hyacinth and ylang ylang. It is part of Geogard 221 which is a very mild preservative, and is non-sensitising and non-irritating, not to mention globally approved (even in Japan where it's VERY very tough to get approval). We would never use benzalkonium chloride or similar nasties. Yuk.
