    phenoxethanol could be banned in cosmetics soon  (i guess in France it is already banned)

    Really? Very interesting! I have Leucidal SF and Coconut AMTicide in my collection which I would be happy to use in a combo of 2%/2% but I keep reading negative information about it online. Does anyone use these two combined successfully?

    I have recently used the Leucidal Complete Liquid (the product which essentially combines the two) in an entire product line with success as measured by PET (Challenge Testing). Keep in mind that I used a “holistic” approach of a secure packaging choice, pH control and good cGMP (sanitary practices).

    @jeremien - Phenoxyethanol is not banned in France.  Where did you hear that?

    @Perry , i have checked and it is not regulatory banned, only negative image, and comercialy banned in many products (e.g. baby care).

    Be sure to use Leucidal with SECURE packaging as well. It really needs good hurdle technique.
