Preservatives
I am working with a company to create and Ayurvedic skin care line. We’ve been in R&D for almost 2 years. The products currently to contain 0.5% Nipaguard SCE and I was given the option to substitute to either:
Terastat N - 0.6% (Water Soluble)
Tocopherol - 2.5% (Oil Soluble)
Our product line includes the following:
-facewash
-day cream (aloe Vera gel based)
-night cream (made by distillation)
-water based day serum
-oil based night serum
1. Any suggestions on which of these preservatives is superior and why?
2. Which of these is in line with our ethos of creating a clean and safe product.
3. Can each of the listed preservatives be used in all of the products listed above?

I don’t think any of us work in ‘Brand Names’. A preservative LOI would be a wee bit helpful.
Vit E…is an antioxidant….why is that mentioned in this context?
As well…. preservatives tend to be formula specific….I doubt many of the brain trust will commit without a full understanding of the formula. To do otherwise….might be a bit foolish.
