Another option is to request an extremely concentrated formula in a 100% glycerin base (no preservatives added). Once you add water to it, that is when the preservatives are needed for longer shelf life to prevent bacteria. Glycerin is non-toxic and good for the skin and is used in many products for its skin conditioning properties.
Another solution for preserving herbs without preservative would be in oils such as sunflower or mineral oil, but that would not blend well with water for creating the formula for body wrapping. With the glycerin base, you would add a very small amount to the water when you are ready to use it.
If you want to completely avoid any preservatives in your slimming wraps, there is another relatively new option. This is a product for soaking the bandage wraps in pure herbs.

Boil water, add the tea bag, pour into the heating unit and allow to brew while cooling down to desired temperature. This provides the purest herbal wrap with no additives, and less expensive that other methods.
