    @okaforify I’d call this well preserved given the water activity, as long as the final pH is <5.5 or that sorbate won’t do much good. A bit heavy if anything. With clay products it is always best to add the preservatives before the clays. Kaolin and other clays may adsorb certain preservatives such as benzyl alcohol.

    thank you for your help, what do you mean a bit heavy? as in there are too many ingredients in the mask?

    Ok great, I have been adding the preservatives in the water phase, so I’m hoping that’ll prevent bacteria/fungi! 

    thank you :)
