"This product keeps my body sprays CLEAR !!" |
|
COMMENTS: I was a little skeptical about this product because I could not get a definitive answer for the ingredients that I wanted to list on my bottles. Yes ,I called and was told that it was a proprietary formula, not too thrilled with that because I knew customers would ask how my EO's stayed blended, and my answer would be "just eo's in this". Actually most people didn't ask so everything worked out fine. I am ordering more !

"An essential ingredient for many products" |
|
COMMENTS: I add the recommended amount of this to everything I make that has even a bit of water in it, just in case. I also add it to cosmetics and body products that are paraben-free. Since the trend of paraben-free products has started I have had many items mold or turn prematurely. I trust this, as there is no evidence that parabens cause health problems.

"This is my Go-To Preservative" |
|
COMMENTS: Anytime I make a product that contains water or may be exposed to water during use, I always use Germall Plus. It work great for water in oil & oil in water formulas plus I can use it in oil based scrubs. The products I use it for are lotion, foaming bath whip, scrubs, & shaving soap.
Ohhhh & it also has a wide range for product pH. Just make sure to add it after your product has cooled some since it IA temperature sensitive.

"Least expensive Germall" |
|
COMMENTS: This is probably the least expensive place i was able to find Germall plus. I've used a few other broad spectrum preservatives, but i keep coming back to Germall Plus. You really can't go wrong with it. It seems to be the only one that hasn't failed me or my products so far.

COMMENTS: Used this in my first diy lotion. It's viscosity is "gloppy" which makes it a bit difficult to measure. As this is my first time to use this preservative, I have no reason to not recommend it!

"My Go To Preservative " |
|
COMMENTS: I use this product in everything from lotions, scrubs, and creams. Since it is such a broad spectrum preservative, I feel comfortable that my products are properly preserved. I have never had any issues with it causing my lotions or scrubs to separate. Good overall preservative & it requires very little to properly preserve your products.

"Works for me" |
|
COMMENTS: I'm satisfied with liquid Germall Plus. It doesn't thin out my lotions, and it's cost effective. I wish it wasn't a formaldehyde releaser, but there are undesirable aspects to every preservative, and through research, Germall Plus is the one I chose to use, and so far it has not disappointed. I plan to try others, but this one is my go-to and I recommend it!

"The best paraben-free preservative" |
|
COMMENTS: This is my favorite preservative for lotions and creams. I like that it is broad spectrum and has no known inactivators, so it takes the guesswork out of choosing a preservative. It doesn't thin the product like other preservatives can. And you only need a small amount so the bottle goes a long way. I use it in body lotions and facial creams, never had any issues with it.

"Germall Plus liquid " |
|
COMMENTS: This is the first time I've used this preservative and I really love it. It is easy to use in water heavy and oil heavy recipes, which is why I tried it. Worked great. But be sure and check your temperatures before adding it, keep it under 122 degrees, it does not like heat! My first batch was too hot and it ruined it, my batches after that one were under 120 degrees, in the cool down phase, and it performed gorgeously. Incorporated in really smooth. Love it. I like the fact that it can be used in lotions and scrubs, other preservatives you have to use only in oil heavy recipes and have to have a different one to use in water heavy recipes, this is great for both. It is also a non-paraben preservative which is all I will use.

"Does what it's supposed to" |
|
COMMENTS: I love this preservative. It is paraben free, which many of my customers like. Germall plus does it's job, and does it well. Remember that is is heat sensitive, so be sure that your product has cooled sufficiently or it won't work. It also is a bit viscous, so be prepared to "lose" a bit to the sides of droppers or pouring containers. That shouldn't deter anybody, though, because it's basically standard fair among preservatives.

"Love that it's paraben free!" |
|
COMMENTS: I finally took the plunge into making my own lotions and I really wanted my preservative to be paraben free. Just peace of mind that if a customer does ask or is concerned about it.. that I can say that my lotion doesn't contain any! It's a very thick liquid, though, making it hard to measure the weight and get it all out of the container. But once it's in lotion.. it's perfectly fine. No smell or anything!

COMMENTS: No issues with my body butters using this preservative. I have a test batch I've been using for 6 months and it appears to be doing what it's supposed to...no surprises. My butter looks and smells exactly like it did the day I made it. I like that its paraben and formaldehyde free. Another plus it its effective at .5% which makes it more cost effective than some others out there.

COMMENTS: I personally would never make a lotion without a preservative and this is my go to one to use. I love the fact that it's paraben free as it seems to alleviate the anxieties of some customers who are looking for alternatives to more commercially made lotions. I haven't had any issues with spoilage or breaking of emulsion with this preservative and intend to keep using this one for as long as I can.
