I understand and appreciate your objective. It’s a tough one as passive water in open pots/jars has always deviled in use-micro.
-
Bet someone is struggling to get “equity” into their marketing.
To Perry’s - Cosmetic industry scandal - bet some clown lab will discover “gasp!!” heavy metals or some other trace terrible in something (ala lead in lipstick).
Consider the impact of the cosmetic modernization act in US. Stuffed into the 1.7 trillion, >4000 page omnibus budget act that just passed, it won’t drive a consumer trend but sure will have a lot of industry folks jumping.

Can you say more about the product and the micro risk you’re trying to control?

This is often overblown. Skin is not passive in this context, waiting for a product to set its pH.

@ketchito
Glycerin preservation may have been in the minds of formulators - but I’d not place much confidence in it. -
@zetein
Thanks for the additional info -
They may be relying on a hot fill and tube to protect.
-
I’d not presume effective preservation.

Calamine lotion is a drug - tho could make cosmetic claims.

Concentration x volume = concentration X volume
What do you mean by “20 vol.”?
Lose the excessive precision. -
@GeorgeBenson
and they tossed in EHG
Seems you have a point. Wonder at diol %, the water activity and packaging? -
How have you established safety for this ingredient/

Amen Mark!!
@chemicalmatt
OK if I use that? -
It’s in the budget bill that no one will read before or after they vote.
-
They’ve stuck it in the Omnibus Spending Bill - so it appears to be a go
At >4000 pages so who would know it what else is in there - no doubt with a lot of pork, ear mark’s and legislator pathways to millions. -
@Perry
Agree - big guys and PCPC supported the bill. It preempts the California et al. legislative crazies, and they’re already doing GMP’s, product safety substantiation, etc. and have a bunch of regulatory guys who can file paperwork.
That this might generally even screw with the guys just over a million in sales could be in the back of their minds. -
@chemicalmatt @MarkBroussard
Thanks! btw - I looked at FDA’s proposed 2022 budget and saw nothing to support all the new stuff this requires. Maybe I missed it but this looks like an unfunded mandate.
https://www.fda.gov/media/149616/downloadLast year FDA brought in an industry veteran to train them for cosmetic GMP’s so maybe they saw this coming.

ok - I see. My error, sorry.
btw - good for the systems you use.

@justaerin
How do phenonip and PE 9010 mitigate perceived odor of their phenoxy component? -
Mark - I think the commercial name “Rose ether” some suppliers attach to phenoxyethanol may be the source of olfactory expectation.
Maybe my memory is flawed, but seems the term was used in the 80’s by the old Emery Chemicals to describe phenylethyl not phenoxyethyl

@MariaReneia
and the truth is - this is only a marketing campaign.
It’ll be a sad day for science and technology when the regulatory aspects of the industry are so bastardized as to define and legitimatize the mythical “clean” -
As Graillotion said, phenylethyl alcohol has more of a rose smell.
-
@MariaReneia
These primarily synthetic, poor to very poor and in one case fake preservative systems are ‘natural” only by the hyped redefinition of the term.
Please stop buying the hype. -
Value? Certainly - value to their certification organizations and those selling the hype.
-
Certification organizations. Have to admire the clever racket. Redefine a meaningless term and charge folks for the use.
Esp liked EWG - at least formerly, demanded a piece of the action
