  Tocopherol and Rosemary usage amounts? - Lip Balm

  Posted by ajw000 on August 23, 2019 at 9:51 am

  Hi all, 

  I am looking for usage amounts for Tocopherol and Rosemary Oleoresin in my lip balm to help prevent it from going rancid. What % should each be at? I’m finding conflicting information online. 

  Thanks!

  you can add Tocopherol at 0.2% to 0.3% and Rosemary Oleoresin at 0.05% to 0.1% and you’ll be fine.

  @MarkBroussard, thank you, I will be trying that in my formulations. I will need to wait several months to see how the products age.

  Thanks!
