  • Is this preservative enough for cationic emulsion?

    Posted by Abdullah on December 20, 2024 at 7:58 am

    This is a cationic moisturizing lotion

    0.5% BTMS

    2% cetearyl alcohol

    12% glycerin

    5% petrolatum

    0.5% lactic acid

    pH 4.5-5

    Package: flip top cap bottle.

    Is 1.5ppm CMI MI+ 0.02% formalin enough to preserve this cationic emulsion?

    If not, what is it weak against ? Gram+ or gram - or yeast or mold?

    And should increase the amount of CMI MI or formalin to improve it?
