I buy Germabem II for both of the products. Just use between 3-5% of the

total. I don't use any preservative in scrubs since there is no water. I don't

believe the sprays need any preservative because of the alcohol.

Germaben II is heat sensitive so if you goof you can't reheat without adding

more. One Germaben is for more oil than water and there is another that is

for more water than oil, very confusing.

I was not aware of that. I went by what I was told from Majestic Mountain.

Now, I'm wondering if I have had spoiled cremes sold.

I don't use any preservative in scrubs since there is no water.

i don't make scrubs or lotions atm, but i am a member of a few groups

and forums, and the majority of the people on those who make scrubs

add preservative because water will most likely get into the scrub,

ie, a wet hand dipping into the scrub in the shower.

I know there is a web site that covers preservatives I just can't put my

finger on it right now. If I find it I will pass it on.

Rose , whoever told you to use 3% to 5% of Germaben ll has given you

wrong and potentially harmful information. According to the manufacturer

Germaben ll should be used at levels " up to 1% " .

All presevatives should only be used in 1 % of total. That is the way I was

taught. I use Phenonip.

I really do think 3 - 5 % would be far to much and might even cause some

problems ! Hugs, .
