According to ISP/Sutton literature, LiquaPar Optima is good between pH 3 and 8.

The effectiveness of LiquaPar Optima drops off at pH 8.

Maurice, are you saying that Suttocide A is a more effective

preservative? And if so, can you direct us as to where we can

purchase some (hopefully not by the gallon ).

If the preservative (LPO) is based on and added to the oils, which are then

added to the inert salts, does this mean the salts are going to render the LPO

basically useless? Are there other preservatives, other than Suttocide A for

a higher pH range?

Thank you.

Above pH 8, Suttocide A is a better preservative than LiquaPar Optima.

Beth, the Suttocide was mentioned as an alternative to LPO as the

scrub-preservation discussion began to incorporate true soaps to facilitate

rinsing -

which can change the pH of the whole formula, depending upon how much soap you

use, perhaps enough to be outside the LPO range.

Are you refering to using LiquaPar Optima as a preservative in an anhydrous

(water-free) salt scrub? If yes, the salts will not effect the LiquaPar Optima.

Are there other preservatives, other than Suttocide A for a higher pH range?

I'm not aware of any.

Is that AHA as in Alpha Hydroxy Acid? Or AHA as in ... " I GOT IT!!! "

LOL! See how easily misinterpretation can happen lol!
