I'm new and still don't know much about preservatives but I copied this off of the Presevative Information link. HTH.

Germaben II

INCI: Propylene Glycol (and) Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Methylparaben (and) Propylparaben

Can be used with no co-preservatives and is compatible with most cosmetic ingredients.

Use Germaben II when making emulsions that have 25% oil or less.

Add slowly below 60F (140F) after good stirring just prior to the addition of fragrance.

pH restrictions – 3.0-7.5

Is a complete preservative in that it covers microbial, fungus, and yeast.

Usage level - .5-1.0%

I think they're all pretty and I actually love the one on the bottom. I have a thing for silver......

Wow, I really like those. I am so jealous. Maybe one day!

I got shea & mango butter. Then for oil I got sao & macadamia oil. I also got some beeswax and glycerin, some mica and more fo. I'm sorta addicted and have another order I'm waiting on.

Very pretty. I like the black & white.

I just received my supplies to make a body butter except I haven't bought my scale yet. Does anyone here not use a scale/have a recipe that they use that doesn't require a one?

I don't know about sales but my daughter & I both prefer gels. Big age dif. there, 13 & 32.
