Great preservative to work with.
"Great preservative to work with."
Great natural alternative
"My favorite natural preservative. Water-based formulas last for 6-9 months without spoiling. Just need to be careful with proportions."
Tricky to get out of 10ml
"I would try to get the bigger bottle next time, the dropper is too hard to get the product out of"
Q&A
- What’s the difference between this and emulsitec?
- Hi Maria, geogard and emulsitec have different ingredients, even though both contain benzyl alcohol. geogard: Water, Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic acid emulsitec: Benzyl alcohol, Glyceryl caprylate, Glyceryl undecylenate emulsitec also stabilizes emulsions and has some emollient prperties so we suggest it in emulsions like lotions and creams. Geogard is better if they are making a clear, water-based product
- Is this preservative okay to use in an oil based sugar scrub with no water in it?
- Hi Kayla, This product needs to be used in a water-based product.
- Since this item can’t be used on the lips for a preservative, what product can?
- Hi Jackie, I would suggest emulsitec as a preservative because it has additional emollient properties. https://makesy.com/products/emulsitec-plant-based-preservative?_pos=1&_sid=7db57f08d&_ss=r
- What’s the usage rate?
- Hi Sebastian, Geogard 221 is safe for all topical products. Suggested usage is 0.5% - 1.0% with a 1.1% max usage
- can i use this in liquid soap as a preservative?
- Hi Alyssa, Yes, you can!
