Low irritation. Food additive. Natural claim. Preservative-free claim. High pKa. Not expensive. Big companies are using it more and more, effectiviness being verified. Can act as skin-conditioning agent and antioxidant...
If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. What's the downside of it? Why weren't it rediscovered until recent years?

    It is not cold processable. 
    It is not inexpensive. Price is 7x more that phenoxyethanol and 2x more than Paraben.

    I think it will be very popular in the future.

    I have been using it since almost the beginning....and it is in all formulas.  I view it as a preservative booster.  Since I do not use parabens or F releasers...I figured I would enhance my E9010 multiple other ways, Symsave H being one of them.

    One downside is that it has a smell but it's not unpleasant
