  Hi everybody!!

  I am formulatin a facial cream and I wanted to preserve it with phenethyl alcohol at 1,2% but I think that is recomended to complete for asure the antimicrobian preservation. I was thinking in use ethanol but I don’t know in wich %. The formula contains:

  30% oils

  6 % olivem 1000

  4 % glycerin

  0,2% xanthan gome

  1,2 % phenethyl alcohol

  water to 100%

  Somebody knows what would be the adecuate % to preserve the formula of PEA and ethanol? And, could I use the ethanol used to obtain herball extracts?

  Thanks a lot!!
