  Liquid Germall Plus in pomades

  Posted by gnomebeard on June 23, 2018 at 8:00 am

  I don’t typically see companies use Liquid Germal Plus as a preservative in pomades.  Is this not a sufficient broad spectrum preservative?

  Liquid Germall has consumer concerns, but not because of efficacy. It is a pretty robust preservative. Pomades are typically very waxy, and liquid germall goes into the water-phase. It would only be protecting whatever water is used in the formula

  ^^ that.
  Use 0.2% propyl parabens in the oil phase.
