Anna's specialized A Extend is an organic preservative system containing vegetable-based ingredients from natural resources. We add this specialized blend to better preserve our skin care products without adding parabens or other questionable chemicals. The proprietary A Extend is a unique and innovative organic preservative system. We have combined the properties of rooibos extract, vitamin E, black willow bark extract, rosemary oleoresin, neem oil, certain botanicals, and essential oils at specific levels that have created a synergistic preservative system that will revolutionize natural products.
This preservative system is broad spectrum and stable. The products also have a unique odor that comes from the preservative system. Color variation can be expected for this product line. The extract can also cause color variations from batch to batch. We are doing everything we can to unify variations as much as possible, however this is a completely natural product and natural variation cannot be controlled.

All products should be stored in a cool dark place with stable and consistent temperature. Typical room temperature is 68-77 degree F (20-25 degrees C) which is the perfect storage temperature for cosmetics. When cosmetics of any kind are stored at higher temperatures the preservative system in significantly deteriorated. A good rule of thumb is that; one week stored at temperatures higher than 85 degrees F will spend three months of most products shelf life.
