  • Preservative systems for skin creams

    Posted by Joanna_Nguyen on November 11, 2024 at 7:30 pm

    I’m currently making a daily skin cream, however I’m not sure if my preservative system is ok, I’m afraid it’s too much, please advise me. My formula is as follows:

    0.3% Caprylyl Glycol

    0.1% Butylated Hydroxytoluene

    0.1% Sodium Benzoate

    0.5% Phenoxyethanol

    BHT is not an antimicrobial preservative.

    What’s pH?
