"Hello! I know this is a water soluble preservative and is best used when mixed with another natural preservative. But what is a good natural preservative for oil based products like sugar and salt scrubs? I know most people store these types of items in the shower where they can and will get water in them. So what is something that can be put in them to help prolong the life of the scrub so it won't go rancid or start to grow mold or fungus? Thanks!"

"Good Evening, I am looking to use this along with Leucidal in facial toners and a facial hydrospray comprised of hydrosols, extracts, glycerin and apple cider vinegar. Is this safe to be used in misting products? I’ve looked at the data sheets for both products and I am not confident of the answer, I would greatly appreciate you confirming or rebuking its safety for that use. Thank You!"

Basically, this preservative can only be added to homemade shampoo and conditioner? What if the shampoo and conditioner contains oil, can this preservative still be added?

"I'm looking for a natural preservative to add to my body scrubs. It doesn't sound like this is appropriate. Please advise. "

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer If your body scrub is water based, this would work fine in conjunction with one of the Leucidal Liquids recommended in the description. If your body scrub is oil based, we recommend adding vitamin E as an anti-oxidant. The AMTicide Coconut/Leucidal combination can be added for any water contamination that might occur during use but should be tested to be sure the preservative is effective in your product.

"When using this with Leucidal Liquid, should they each be 2%-4% of the total of ALL ingredients in the recipe? or 2%-4% of the total of water ingredients in the recipe (aloe vera gel)? Also, would you recommend Leucidal Liquid or Leucidal Liquid SF for use with this in an aloe vera based clay face mask? Thanks"

Staff Answer The usage is 2-4% of EACH preservative and is determined by the weight of all ingredients. We would recommend using the Leucidal Liquid SF in your face mask.
