I guess i’m on the “Natural” preservative hype train, I would prefer to use COSMOS or ecocert approved preservatives that are odorless. I know a lot of the Natural preservatives are not actually natural, but when I plan to market the product, at least I can say it’s COSMOS approved to be used in natural skincare.

Thank you for your input 🙂

I’m from Australia, I’ve googled it and searched quite a few australian suppliers, they don’t have this one unfortunately.

ok, noted. However I can’t seem to find GLDA anywhere in my area. Is phytic acid my next best bet?

[Springwaves]

I agree with you on that one, safety first.

btw, what’s your reason for dropping gluconate? If I use a strong preservative like phenoxyethanol, I don’t need a chelating agent?

[Springwaves]

Thank you for the suggestion, I checked my supplier, I am able to get Phenoxyethanol + Caprylyl Glycol or Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin. Which one do you recommend?

[Springwaves]

Thank you for the reply, for the full preservative system I use 1% Geogard Ultra, 0.2% Potassium sorbate, and 0.1% Sodium Gluconate. This should be enough?
