Careful: Do Your Research on Natrulon PCG email

[Guest guest]

I was just spammed by someone named Mark Hughey

who sent me information about " natural preservatives " .

I htink poeple should test everything through google

searches AND the FDA. I found in 5 minutes time, but

since I am pretty much a soap maker and make little

cosmetic products now I did not do FDA on this one.

I got enough eyebrow rainging just by the ingredients:

This Company's CLAIM:

" Natrulon® PCG consists of patent-pending ratios of naturally-derived

and GRAS ingredients under the INCI name of

-Naturally-derived Cinnamomum Cassia Leaf Oil (CAS# 8007-80-5)

and Potassium Sorbate (CAS#590-00-1)

and Glycerin (CAS#56-81-5).

Applications and Suggested Use Rates

Natrulon® PCG is compatible in a diverse range of natural based

product formulations, for example:Hair Care Shampoos, Conditioners,

Rinses Skin Care Liquid Soaps, Shower Gels, Sensitive Skin Lotions,

Moisturizers, Cold Creams Sun Products Sunscreen Lotions and Creams

Raw Materials Surfactants, Shampoo Blends, Conditioner Blends "

According to: http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/PO/potassium_sorbate.html

and various sites when doinga good search:

Potassium Sorbate is a FOOD fungicide. It can be an irritant. There was

no mention of it as an approved cosmetic preservative for lotions or other

cosmetics in the listing on google and I doubt very much it is stong

enough

to pass to keep cosmetics clean for long without another preservative to

also

kill mold and bacteria. I suggest this company show lab finding of a

cosmetic

product he made with this.

Cinnamomum Cassia Leaf Oil is cinnamon essential oil and this is an irritant

to many in soap let alone leave on products.

Glycerin Since when did glycerin become a preservative? It feed bacteria

according

to cosmetic chemists, I thought. Have there been changes in that thinking?

I suggest that anyone who else who may have been spammed and is interested

in this product look through the FDA.gov site and see what the Cosmetic section

of this site says about approved preservatives. This is what I found on a

general

search of potassium sorbate (acceptable in food)

Code of Federal Regulations: 21 CFR 182 SUBSTANCES GENERALLY ...

but for cosmetics......

Your search - Potassium Sorbate + cosmetics - did not match any documents.

No pages were found containing " Potassium Sorbate + cosmetics " .
