IBN Member Joan Morais replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"Hello Marcia,
I prefer Optiphen over Liquid Germall Plus. Liquid Germall Plus has an ingredient in it that is on the hot list and most consumers don't want.
Regarding Leucidal Liquid. I use it depending on the product and using a preservative…"
IBN Member Joan Morais replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"Hello Michelle,
Optiphen is a synthetic preservative. I used to use it years ago as it was considered mild to the skin and was used in place of parabens. I use three all-natural preservatives. It is not as easy as putting Optiphen in. A preservative…"
Marcia Coppess replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"I'd love to hear some opinions about Optiphen vs Liquid Germall Plus. I'd also like to hear from anyone who has used Leucidal. I'd love to change over to Leucidal, but the last I read it hadn't proved completely…"
Michelle Lockert replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"Hi ladies...Im joining this forum rather late, however I had a question about the Optiphen.

C.Dawn Farrow replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"Thanks Joan! I did a lot of research trying to find something that would be like having nothing added but giving a presevative especially to my body scrubs and foot scrubs where I use goat's milk and they encounter water when being used."
IBN Member Joan Morais replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"C. Dawn, it is good you are using a preservative. I used Optiphen for many years and always had good testing results with it.

C.Dawn Farrow replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"Hello! I use OPTIPHEN for my products because I sell my natural skin care products. It is as safe a preservative as you can get outside of your essential oils. It doesnt emit formaldehyde like the parabens. Good luck hope that…"
IBN Member Joan Morais replied to the discussion 'Preservatives in Body Care Products' in the group How to Make Natural Body Care Products With Joan Morais"Hello Terri,
Yes, it is crucial for products containing water to have an effective preservative system. Always think of personal care products without a preservative system, like yogurt. They must be stored in the refrigerator. You would…"

Preservatives in Body Care Products
I am just starting a company making personal care products, and I would like to use all natural ingredients with no artificial chemicals. But I am hearing that products that are going to be sold to the public really need to have a preservative to prevent bacteria and mold from growing, and I haven't been able to find anything natural that serves the purpose. Essential oils are antioxidants, and only work to prevent the oils from going rancid, they don't kill bacteria. I have been researching…See More
