    Preservatives

    What is a preservative? Well, let me tell you. A preservative will stop yeast, bacteria and mold from growing in your mixtures. Think of stopping a walking petri dish! Think of preventing a yeast filled bottle from blowing its cork. Think of illness and disease being stopped in its tracks. Whew! What a great product to add to your lotions and creams.

    Preservative, Germaben II

    Recipes
    MSDS
    		 To help keep your lotions fresh and growth free, you will need a preservative.

    Use Germaben II at a rate of 1% for all your lotions that have less than 25% oil in them. Germaben II is a complete preservative, no need to add additional preservatives to your mixture. Can be used in shampoos and conditioners too.

    Germaben II contains:

    • propylene glycol 56%
    • diazolidinyl urea 30%
    • methylparaben 11%
    • propylparaben 3%

    Use Germaben II when making emulsions that have 25% oil or less. If you need assistance with how much oil your mixture has you can contact our technical department for help. You will need your complete formula (in weight only, no volume recipes will be reviewed) at hand to discuss with our technical staff.

    1 gallon Germaben II weighs approximately 9.55 lbs

    		 Ever wonder what you should do when making a cream that has more than 25% oil? When Germaben II can't handle it where do you turn? Well, the answer is Germaben II E! The II E variation is for creams and lotions that have more than 25% oil in them. Stop mold, yeast and bacteria from ruining your work! Enjoy making the creams of your dreams without the worry of dark mold or foamy yuck growing from your containers. Use Germaben II-E at the rate of 1% of the total formulation.
