We get that no one REALLY likes this category, however to achieve a safe formulation for sale ... we REALLY do recommend adding a preservative to your water based formulations.
For the more naturally minded consumer, we now offer Cosmocil CQ which is a paraben free preservative which won't release formaldehyde into your finished product.
This product acts as a natural antibacterial, antiparasitic, antifungal and antiviral inhibitor in soaps, lotions and other beauty care products. Food grade. 60% grapefruit seed extract in 40% glycerin.
Based on naturally derived science, this preservative is highly effective without compromising health issues. Its a paraben free preservative which means it won't release formaldehyde into your finished product like paraben based preservatives do.
Many natural and fresh food companies (fresh salsa immediately comes to mind), use potassium sorbate in their blends as a reliable preservative system. The same concept applies to cosmetics and toiletries. This product does like a more neutral pH level, so we recommend staying within the 4.0 to 6.0 pH for this product to be effective.
Oxygenated oils are generally a leading cause of a finished product going rancid. Rosemary extract, being highly antioxidant, doesn't allow oxygen to attach to the free fatty oils - thus making your product's shelf life a much longer one.
