  Preservative Suggestions

  Posted by Rrivet on October 10, 2018 at 7:32 pm

  Does anyone have any suggestions on a good preservative to use on a high Isopropyl Alcohol content gel? Please don’t tell me to do research on this, as I have been doing that for days.  It would be great if it could be paraben free, and water-soluble.  Thanks for any help you can give.

  What % of alcohol are you using?  Over 20% and you probably don’t need an additional preservative.

  @Perry yes you have right i read that if Lol has % of alcohol equal at 20  or more  it will not need preservative.
