    No, it’s not warranted. It is perfectly fine and safe to use at cosmetic levels.
    I wouldn’t have faith in Geogard Ultra as I doubt it is generally reliable.

    Hi Perry - I hope you are doing well!  Can you explain why you don’t think Geogard Ultra would be reliable?  Lonza pitches it out as a broad spectrum preservative… I ask as I’m having challenges with an aloe gel right now that uses it (and did pass PET testing :-(   Thank you!

    @AutumnBlum - we don’t have such a course but if we were to make one, what are some of the key subjects you would like to learn about?

    Thank you so much for the advice.    

    Perry, I would love to see a series of modules that we could use to train new staff as well as improve/refresh existing staff.  

    Right now, I am the only one in our small facility that can really do the trainings and I am traveling too much these days.  Having an online program with questions and a printable quiz to add to employee files would be great.  Knowing that attention span is limited, lunch break size modules would be ideal.

    - Basic cGMPs for cosmetic and OTC manufacturing overview for new hires
    - Good documentation practices
    - Handling adverse events and/vs consumer complaints
    - etc

    I’ll check out the ASEAN link recommended by Dr. Mike as well.

    Off to figure out how to turn on notifications so I don’t miss future ones :-:smile:

    Sorry for my slow reply and thank you for the responses!  Definitely couldn’t use Kathon in our formula.  The Geogard does go into solution and so far hasn’t settled out (thanks for that tip to watch for!)
