What do you think of the blend mentioned above for my formula ? 90% Phenoxyethanol and 10% Ethylhexylglycerin

I have ordered it and I will try it I’m just wondering what your predictions are. Am I on the right track ?

Thank you

Sorry for double posting. I wonder if a blend of pure 90% Phenoxyethanol and 10% Ethylhexylglycerin would have the same broad spectrum effect as the grapefruit products ? The main reason is that the shipping of grapefruit product would be 18 € while I found that blend mentioned above locally which would be cheaper?

@Bill_Toge 

Thank you for the great advice. I have looked in to the preservatives from the link that you provided and I think it falls on :

• GRACEFRUIT® PRESERVATIVE POG

Do you think this is suitable for my formula ?

Thank you once again for the value provided.

@Bill_Toge - Thank you for the tip. Would you by any chance know a good supplier for locations in Europe where I can get these preservatives. Are they  broad spectrum or would I have to mix ?

Another very basic question, 1% w/w does that mean 1% of the Water in my case 0.52 Grams?

Overall what do you think of my formulation ?

@crisbaysauli - The majority ingredient is water which is why I called this water based however I don’t know if that is technically the correct thing to do in the world of cosmetics chemistry.

Thank you for your answer, hope to get some more insight by you all!
