I was wondering if there were any types of non-toxic preservatives that I would be able to use insert into a certain cosmetic in order to help kill off some of the bacteria? :D

There are a lot of resources for this topic on the Internet. Here is one I found:

Is this the sort of information you are looking for?

Are there any non-toxic preservatives that can be added to cosmetic products in order for the bacteria growth to decrease?
