Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Hello all, I am one the " natural " as possible handmade toiletries gals. I have been researching preservatives for a while now and am trying to decide on which to use. If I had my way, I'd use Phenoxytol but no one seems to sell it in small quantities. I visited the DIOW site and they have a new product/preservative called Diocide. Is anyone familiar with it, have any comments about it or planning to carry it? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Hi Margaret I'm no expert at all on preservatives, just interested. This looks similar in performance to Suttons germal plus. What do you think? I couldn't find any pricing on the Diow site to compare cost. There might be a vast difference there. Maybe one of the chemists has more info on this stuff. (looks to me like you must use it after cool down and you wouldnt be able to use it in stuff like scrubs that have no water) CS Re: DIOW & Diocide , It's at http://www.diowinc.com Looking forward to hearing your response about the Diocide.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Hi , I liked the fact that it is paraben free. I am " guessing " that the glycols are sorta like PG in their effect in this preservative combination. I do know that the phenoxyethenol is effective for the bacteria, but what I am curious about is are the glycols effective against the yeast/molds? Or would one need to add k-sorbate or something for that? I also like the fact that it doesn't contain the formaldehyde forming/donor preservatives. I did see that it is available in pails, way to much for me until I am producing like say Kay or something. lol Hence my question before, it a supplier had heard of it or was considering carrying it. I think you would have to email for pricing. It must be pretty darn new since not many are responding. Margaret Natural Indulgences LLC >I'm no expert at all on preservatives, just interested.

I have never used DIOCIDE. As we know from the INCI name is Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol and Hexylene Glycol. Caprylyl Glycol and Hexylene Glycol are not preservatives and have no idea why they are there. If I wanted a paraben free preservative system, I'd use Germall Plus.
