"This product keeps my body sprays CLEAR !!"
COMMENTS: I was a little skeptical about this product because I could not get a definitive answer for the ingredients that I wanted to list on my bottles. Yes ,I called and was told that it was a proprietary formula, not too thrilled with that because I knew customers would ask how my EO's stayed blended, and my answer would be "just eo's in this". Actually most people didn't ask so everything worked out fine. I am ordering more !

COMMENTS: I have tested a few preservatives now, and I think I finally found the one to stick with. Works well in all of our lotions, creams, and scrubs. No separation, and great broad spectrum coverage. Yep, it's a keeper.
COMMENTS: The best review you could get is that it works, and no surprise here, it does. This is a great preservative. I use it in my lotions. Pay attention to the temps, as always, and I like to go below by about 20-30 degrees, but that's just my choice - I'm sure you could go all the way

COMMENTS: I add the recommended amount of this to everything I make that has even a bit of water in it, just in case. I also add it to cosmetics and body products that are paraben-free. Since the trend of paraben-free products has started I have had many items mold or turn prematurely. I trust this, as there is no evidence that parabens cause health problems.

"This is my Go-To Preservative"
COMMENTS: Anytime I make a product that contains water or may be exposed to water during use, I always use Germall Plus. It work great for water in oil & oil in water formulas plus I can use it in oil based scrubs. The products I use it for are lotion, foaming bath whip, scrubs, & shaving soap.
Ohhhh & it also has a wide range for product pH. Just make sure to add it after your product has cooled some since it IA temperature sensitive.

"BEST preservative "
COMMENTS: Wow! I have tried other broad spectrum preservatives but this is SO easy to work with! It's not a difficult process involved with germall plus to add it to your recipe. Other preservatives are so difficult with all the stipulations and you still might have a mess up and it won't even preserve your final product. Also, this has no foul smell that overrides your fragrance or natural scent of your recipe! A little goes such a long way even with the 2oz bottle and the price offered by WSP is incredible. I cannot find germall plus hardly anywhere and if I can I definitely can't for this price.

COMMENTS: I'm satisfied with liquid Germall Plus. It doesn't thin out my lotions, and it's cost effective. I wish it wasn't a formaldehyde releaser, but there are undesirable aspects to every preservative, and through research, Germall Plus is the one I chose to use, and so far it has not disappointed. I plan to try others, but this one is my go-to and I recommend it!

COMMENTS: This is my favorite preservative for lotions and creams. I like that it is broad spectrum and has no known inactivators, so it takes the guesswork out of choosing a preservative.
