Usage instructions
Add the Organic Preservative compound at temperatures under 45c. The preservative has a slight yellowy to orange tinge which isn't visible in creams, lotions and emulsified products. A small yellowy to orange tinge may be seen in clear foaming products. The Organic preservative compound has a low odour, though can interfere with scent of a formulation, so it is always best to check the scent compatibility with your essential oils. If you are looking for a very low scent alternative, then Sodium benzoate & Potassium sorbate may offer a better option. The preservative system is safe for use with products between a pH of 2 and 7.
