Should give your formula but prob. ok.
How good is your water? Can you add a chelator, EDTA? -
I use dehistilation water and yes i do add 0,2% phylate as chelator. or I must use EDTA?here is the formula
48.5% Distlled water 38.0% rose hydrosol 4.0% sodium lactate 0.4% lactic acid (ph adjuster) 0.8% Phenoxhyetanol and Etylhexyl grlycerin 3.0% extract 0.5% dl phantenol 1.0% propanadiol 0.5% marine colagen 0.3% rose eo 1.0% alkamuls-CR40 0.8% o-ethyl ascorbate acid 1.0% Tranexamic Acid 0.2% Sodium Phylate -
dehydroacetic acid is only 0.07% water soluble. I don’t know how much effective it would be.

btw the coa doc of DA said usage rate from 0.1-0.6. 0.07 is away lower than the recommended. any reason why I should add lower from the recommendation?

Whatever amount you add, some of it will be in acid form and some in salt form. Only in acid form it will function as preservative.
Salt is more water soluble but not effective. Acid is effective but not water soluble more than 0.07%.
If you add even 0.6% and it all dissolved in water, it means they are all in salt form and not effective. -

pH 4 is easier to preserve than pH 5.
If you have pH 4, more of it will be in acid form and it will not dissolve in water and will precipitate.
What i want to say is, if 0.07% DHA in acid form can’t preserve your product, then add another anti fungal preservative with it. Increasing DHA won’t help.
Look at the commercial preservative blends that has DHA in it. There isn’t a blend that gives you more than 0.07% DHA in final product at maximum recommended use.
