  Preservatives

  Posted by Ayla on January 31, 2014 at 5:47 am

  Please help me !

  As we discuss before, the MIT/MIC will be banned in Europe for leave-on products (you can still use it but not for long). So I have to find something else. But, this new magic preservative has to be :
  - without parabens
  - without phenoxyethanol
  - broad spectrum bacteria, yeast and mould
  - not a formaldehyde releaser
  - working pH 3 to 8
  - not too expensive…

  Does this preservative even exists ??

  Thanks !!

  Thank you mikebavington and MakingSkincare.

  I’ll try Suttocide A (Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate). It’s said that it could give a red color with citral…Hope not so much !
