Herbal extracts are the most common form of herbal ingredients found in skin care products both professional and retail. However, herbal extracts contain parabens to preserve and stabilize the product. Most are done so in a manner of cost and convience. Less money and care is taken into obtaining the ingredients, and the artificial preservatives can allow the product to have a shelf life of up to 3 years. Thus, allowing products to be sold over the internet and bought in mass quantity = Money. Studies have shown that parabens have been known to cause a number of allergic reactions, cancers, and even DNA damage.

Ilike Organic Skin Care uses herbal pulps which are certified, organically grown ingredients, all natural, containing no parabens. These pulps have been harvested and processed by hand in Hungary to ensure the delicate plant structure is not damaged. Cold pressed fruits, vegetables, and herbs are converted into pulps to retain the full concentration and power of ther herbs.
Example: Take the orange pulp. The white pulpy part of the orange is the primary source of its flavonoids (nutrients) and the juicy orange coloured sections contain most of the vitamin C. During the process of extraction, the white part of the of the orange is removed and the flavonoids are lost. In the human body, flavonoids and vitamin C often work together and support health through interaction. Vitamin C on its own will still work, but in unison with flavonoids it will work that much better. This is one of the primary reasons for using whole orange pulps over the extract.
