Product Information

Do GLOBAL NOURISH products expire?

Locate the open jar graphic on the bottom of your box. You will see a letter M with a number. We recommend using the product within that number of months after opening so you enjoy it at its best.

Are GLOBAL NOURISH products Gluten-Free?

We give preference to certified GMO-free ingredients whenever possible, but because we source many of our ingredients from small, family-owned farms operating on smaller budgets, not all of our suppliers are able to afford the cost of procuring GMO-free certification.

Are GLOBAL NOURISH products Nut-Free?

More than half of our products are free of nuts or nut oils. All of our formulations are peanut-free. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that any of our products were processed in a peanut or nut-free facility. Research has shown that most individuals with tree or ground-nut allergies can often tolerate Shea and Coconut oils, as these are not part of the tree and ground-nut family. For individuals with any severe nut allergies, we strongly advise that you consult your doctor or allergist and conduct a patch test before using any new product.

Do GLOBAL NOURISH products contain preservatives?

Yes. And here’s why: If there is one drop of water in a natural product—even in the form of Aloe Vera juice—a preservative of some type is almost always needed to maintain freshness and guarantee the shelf life of the formulation. 

Any natural product that is not a powder, solid soap or strictly oil-based requires a preservative–even if it is not listed on the label. Otherwise, you’d get bacteria, fungus, mold and other microbes in your product. Products that are not properly preserved can become a serious health risk. To hopefully put your mind at ease - preservatives don’t have to be toxic  - GLOBAL NOURISH preservative systems utilize either natural plant-based essential oils such as Rosemary, salts, Tocopherol (vitamin E), antioxidants, Japanese Honeysuckle Flower Extract (Lonicera Japonica) or Potassium Sorbate. 

GLOBAL NOURISH is very proud of using the safest natural options possible. Without them, our products would only have a shelf life of 2-3 days without refrigeration. All of our preservatives are non-toxic, and many of them actually benefit the skin.

Why and how can some skincare companies claim to be “water free”?

A select few products (oils, powders, solid soaps, some salves and dry herb-based formulations) are indeed water free. Others may claim to be “water free,” in order to avoid disclosing the use of preservatives required to stabilize a product when there is any water or aqueous liquids included (i.e. Aloe Vera, Hydrosols, Witch Hazel extract, tea, fruit juice, nut, Coconut or cow’s milk, etc.) Most natural and handcrafted skin care products require a preservative system to prevent harmful microbes from growing, and to extend the shelf life beyond 2-3 days. Inadequately preserved skincare products can actually be hazardous to your health. Food for thought: if a “water free” or “preservative free” formulation contains “fragrance” as one of its ingredients, it almost always has a preservative in it, as preservatives are often built into the fragrance itself.

Are your GLOBAL NOURISH products tested on animals?

Absolutely not.

Where should I store GLOBAL NOURISH products?

To maximize the shelf life of your products, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity and excess moisture. Cleansers and body polishes may be kept in the shower.

Are GLOBAL NOURISH products natural?

Our products are 97-100% natural. We always aim to have our products as natural as they can be without compromising on quality and effectiveness.

What is the shelf life of GLOBAL NOURISH products?

GLOBAL NOURISH products have been tested for a shelf life of 12-24 months. To keep them fresher longer, it is best to store them in a cool, dry place without direct sunlight.
