bunkie68 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'm getting some FBB from the co-op order, and I'm excited about trying my hand at scrubs. When do I need to use a preservative, and how do I figure out which one to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do I need to use a preservative, and how do I figure out which one to use?I started with Liquipar in my scrubs and have kept at it. It works for me. You should always use a preservative on anything that will come in contact with water or could be contaminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasBrat Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I was looking at the one from The Chemistry Store, theirs has:INCI: Distilled Water, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA. http://www.chemistrystore.com/foaming_bath_butter.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Cool. When this first came out there weren't any preservatives in their, but maybe the formula has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I know, I went and looked at my tub and saw that it didn't come with a preservative so I had to do a double take on their website and thought I was reading the ingredients for something else. lol I wonder though if you add more oils etc to their fbb, wouldn't you have to count for the extra oils added in and add more preservative?
