I have successful challenge test data for lotion approx. 80% water, 15% oils, rest surfactants etc., adding phenonip @65 celsius after combining both phases, at a level of 0.4% phenonip.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Thats great:o) I was only quoting what the company said about using their product. I don't use it at all. I have some Phenonip but have not tried it yet, was actually afraid to touch the small jars they were shipped in after one busted apart into pieces when I tried to open it and cut my thumb wide open. I was afraid to touch the jars/viles after that..I finally got the other 3 open yesterday though and put it in a PET bottle. But now I have the Germall plus so will probably just use that. However my plan was to test all 3 preservatives that I have to see which I liked best o) Karla -------Original Message------- > Phenonip® can be added to the aqueous phase readily up to its limit of solubility.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 Karla, I find this document interesting because in all the years I have been using Phenonip I have never before seen this recommendation. This is a new document from Clariant since the original material dates back to Nipa Hardwicke, who not only invented the parabens but also the synergistic blend called Phenonip. Rest assured that you can add Phenonip to an emulsion at temperatures slightly below the emulsification temperature without problems. Young KY Labs Innovators of Fine Personal Care Products www.kylabs.com Phenonip According to the information given on the document at the link you provided below they say it is best to split up the adding of the Phenonip at the liquid stage and at the end.., Here is what it says: Karla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I think what Sherry is trying to get across is that GB II would be the best choice for things like water based sprays since it has been many of our experiences that Phenonip will cloud the water. GB II will leave the water and color clear. Dee ><{{{> ><{{{> ><{{{> http: www.hpsoapbook.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Maurice O.
