    This is a cationic emulsion.

    2% BTMS 25

    10% glycerin

    4% petrolatum

    3% mineral oil

    0.05% FO

    0.1% cationic guar (may or may not be used)

    pH 4-4.5

    Package: 500ml flip top cap bottle

    1. What microorganisms are most likely to contaminate this?

    2. Which preservative would be stronger for this? Specially for yeast and mold.

    1.5ppm CMI MI+ 0.02% formalin or just 1% phenoxy ethanol or just 0.6% benzoyl alcohol?

    A patent from L’Oreal had used only 1% phenoxy ethanol as preservative for a cationic emulsion.

    Another patent had used only 0.6% benzoyl alcohol for an almost similar cationic emulsion?
