AMTicide Coconut

Staff Answer The ideal mixing ratio of Amticide Coconut and Leucidal Liquid for body wash or liquid soap is 4% each. Amticide Coconut serves as a preservative that combats fungal growth, while Leucidal Liquid acts as an antimicrobial preservative that also provides moisturizing and conditioning benefits. When used together, they effectively guard against yeast and mold. Noted when utilizing Amticide Coconut and Leucidal Liquid together: *Keep an eye on how Amticide Coconut interacts with other ingredients to ensure compatibility. *Add Amticide Coconut to your formulations at a pH level between 3 and 8, during the cooling phase, and at temperatures below 70°C. *To calculate the amount of preservative needed for your product, take the weight of your product, multiply it by the usage rate percentage, and then divide that result by 100.
