Staff Answer If you are making a shave soap containing sodium hydroxide, you would not need to add a preservative.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: May 18, 2020

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Thanks for your response. I understand that a bar soap would not require preservative, but this one is not a bar soap. It goes into a jar and will be exposed to water in the shower similar to whipped soap and liquid soap. The latter ones need preservative. Would this be safe to use in shaving products? If not, what would you recommend.

Posted By: Anush | Date: May 18, 2020

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer Thank you for the explanation. You would need a preservative for this product. The Water Soluble PF would work fine. It is not safe in lip products but this is fine to use in a face product.

Staff Answer Good question! Due to space restrictions in responding, what I can suggest is that you read the 'Overview' tab for each of the products. The main difference is that some are soluble in water only, and others in oil. There are differences with ingredients, what products to use them in, etc... But they are all preservatives.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: January 14, 2014

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

The difference is that all, but Optiphen Plus contain Parabens. They are a cheap broad spectrum microbial, however they have been tentatively linked to cancer. Other differences are that some preservatives are for oil based recipes such as body butters and lotion bars and some are for recipes that contain water, such as lotions and creams.

Posted By: maria | Date: January 15, 2014

Germall Plus is PARABEN FREE! I cannot speak to the others but the answer above is incorrect pertaining to Germall Plus.

COMMENTS: Shipment came sooner then expected. Awesome job Wholesale Supplies Plus. This is my second order and it came just like my first, package with care. The bottles were placed in a zip lock bag, then wrapped in large bubbles, lots of large bubbles before being added to the box. I'm always impressed with large bubble wrapping. In my opinion I think they add more cushion then the small bubbles.

"An essential ingredient for many products"

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.

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.

"Germall Plus liquid "

COMMENTS: This is the first time I've used this preservative and I really love it. It is easy to use in water heavy and oil heavy recipes, which is why I tried it. Worked great. But be sure and check your temperatures before adding it, keep it under 122 degrees, it does not like heat! My first batch was too hot and it ruined it, my batches after that one were under 120 degrees, in the cool down phase, and it performed gorgeously. Incorporated in really smooth. Love it. I like the fact that it can be used in lotions and scrubs, other preservatives you have to use only in oil heavy recipes and have to have a different one to use in water heavy recipes, this is great for both. It is also a non-paraben preservative which is all I will use.

COMMENTS: My customers often prefer to avoid parabens in their lotions.

"Does what it's supposed to"

COMMENTS: I love this preservative. It is paraben free, which many of my customers like. Germall plus does it's job, and does it well. Remember that is is heat sensitive, so be sure that your product has cooled sufficiently or it won't work. It also is a bit viscous, so be prepared to "lose" a bit to the sides of droppers or pouring containers. That shouldn't deter anybody, though, because it's basically standard fair among preservatives.

"Love that it's paraben free!"

COMMENTS: I finally took the plunge into making my own lotions and I really wanted my preservative to be paraben free. Just peace of mind that if a customer does ask or is concerned about it.. that I can say that my lotion doesn't contain any! It's a very thick liquid, though, making it hard to measure the weight and get it all out of the container. But once it's in lotion.. it's perfectly fine. No smell or anything!
