KMommy Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I am interested in using paraben free preservatives in some skin care products and I have several formulas that call for LiquaPar Pe or Germaben IIE. Can I sub Optiphen for either preservative? Quote
Bunny Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 According to the manufacturer, straight Opthiphen doesn't cover everything. Check out the link in the sticky on the top of the B&B section, or the new thread in the B&B Faq about preservatives. Quote
KMommy Posted May 4, 2006 Author Posted May 4, 2006 Thanks Bunny. It sounds like Opthiphen Plus would be the better choice depending on the PH. I haven't a clue what the PH is in the formula. That info. wasn't given. The info. on preservatives here is the best explaination I have seen so far. I'll have to print that - good job!!! Quote
daniedb Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I like Liquid Germall Plus for my lotions, it's paraben free and quite effective. Quote
Kaybee23 Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I like Liquid Germall Plus for my lotions, it's paraben free and quite effective.I second that. I am using it in my body butter and it has been very effective. Quote
