Reviews
Nice product to have in your supplies
"Great price and quick shipping."
Preservative
"Works as expected. My go to preservative."
Germall replacer
"I absolutely love this preservative vs the original not only in price, but the workability of this product! Works fantastic in my skincare formulas"
Satisfied
"Great product used in my lotion making! Odorless and clear."
Effective
"This is the best preservative I've found for water soluble products. . . it's effective at very low rates, over a wide PH range, and it works way better than the leucidals."
Quality
"This is a high quality product that does exactly what it's supposed to. Very thick so be careful weighting out small amounts."
Preservative
"Works very well. Would definitely purchase again."
Preservative - Water Soluble PF
"Live it!"
Great Packaging
"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."
Q&A
- Do you have a all natural preservatives for liquid soaps and shampoo?
- We don't currently carry an all-natural preservative.
- Hi, I accidentally added way too much (way, way too much) of this preservative to my foaming soap base. I went over the 5% additional additives so it was needed. Do I need to toss this batch?
- You can try making an additional batch with out the preservative and add to the batch you made with too much preservative and see if that helps.
- If I'm making 128 fl oz of foaming hand soap which uses 32 fl oz of Glycerin base, is the 0.05% Preservative based off 128 fl oz total amount or the 32 fl oz soap base?
- The 0.05% preservative should be based on the total amount of the soap mixture.
- If the final preservative is .5% does the propylene glycol become incidental since its just a carrier and not an active ingredient?
- Propylene Glycol is an ingredient in the preservative. It would need to be listed on the ingredient label.
- I want to make a foaming hand soap. From what I understand I add 4 parts water to one part base. For the additional preservative that will be needed, can I use Germall plus and if so how much would I add to a base and water mix to make 50 ounces of soap?
- For 50 ounces of soap and water 2.5 ounces of Preservative-Water Soluble PF would be used.
