    Germaben II and Liquid Germall Plus are also good options.

    There isn’t a simple answer to the question. Parabens, Formaldehyde donors, Kathon, Phenoxyethanol, Organic acids, can all be suitable preservatives.

    It depends on…

    1. The exact formula
    2. The quality of raw materials
    3. The conditions of production
    4. The marketing position of the brand
    5. The consumer’s desires
    6. The cost, the availability
