Issues faced by manufacturers of organic products

India is the land of Ayurveda and we have a wide variety of medicinal plants available in our country. In spite the availability and quality of these plant derivatives there are serious issues faced by the manufacturers. Some of the drawback of the all plant derivatives are:

Microbial contamination

Product instability

Product separation

Discoloration

Formation of gases and odors

Short shelf life

To overcome these issues and to prolong the shelf life of the products, most makers add some preservatives and stabilizers to their compositions. The best suitable natural preservatives are gram positive and negative microorganisms, funguses and viruses. These can increase the shelf life without any toxic effects. However, finding the right microorganism is a challenge. Also, a large quantity of micro-organism can cause other adverse effects. Therefore, most manufacturers prefer to make products ‘fresh’.

If you are planning to start a personal care product brand, ensure that you do a proper market study and have a thorough knowledge of the types of ingredients and their good and bad effects.
