The bag doesn't list any preservatives. Just dates. Oh, and they do have pits, but delish :)

It depends on your definition of 'chemical' as the table salt and and granular sugar we commonly use are by nature chemical compounds -- sodium chloride and sucrose (a carbohydrate) that have been further chemically bleached. Your question should be whether these products contained harmful preservatives. From my first hand observation, the small amounts of preservatives used on them are relatively innocuous but who know for sure as scientists are the worst liars of all either by omission or ignorance. What is considered safe today may turn out to be carcinogenic tomorrow as it has been discovered time and again. Chenicals are like people or sharks, not all of them are bad.

That's the weird thing, it just says...additives or preservatives. Mine was not liquid. It was hard and settled at the bottom of bottle. I could not use it.

My understanding is it's entirely preserved by the drying process, so no added preservatives, just the water removed.

It has no preservatives.. It is pasteurized. They recommend storing in the refrigerator even before opening to prevent discoloration. My juices have been fine kept in the fridge for several weeks.

well the vegetable glycerine is 67%, I am assuming from fats and oils as well as long chain carboxylic acids, it is used as a preservative.

The label makes no mention of preservatives, but there is a statement "always Paraben free". I looked this up on a Google search and the explanation indicates "Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics and personal care products". I would accept this to mean that yes indeed, this product does not include preservatives.

I haven't tried this product yet but want to due to its "preservative-free" status. The description is confusing and somewhat deceptive if not interpreted correctly. The short version states "Creates a preservative-free system in the eye...." and the longer version states "Preservative free in the eye with GenAqua....a disappearing preservative that turns to water and oxygen upon contact with your eye." I take that to mean the so-called preservative is reactively freed upon use.

The source of collagen is grass fed beef. Not sure about preservatives, I do know that the most health conscious people I know all use, love, and highly recommend this product for it's wonderful health benefits. Hope this helps...

Hi Rachel, I just checked the ingredients on the can: Purified water, .9% sodium chloride (salt) There are no preservatives in this!

No, you would not need a preservative if you mixed your own lotion containing: magnesium, water and coconut oil together. As magnesium chloride is a salt and already a self preserver. In addition, you may be interested to know that Ancient Minerals also makes a great lotion, gel and spray as well. Enjoy!

No, you will find that preservative free products are packaged in small, individual use plastic vials. SYSTANE® Preservative-Free Formula, an offering by the same maker is, as the name says preservative free and it does come packaged in the small vials. Opening the container of the drops gives a way bacteria to enter, so in my experience if the product comes in a container that is resealable, it has preservatives.
