Cosmetic Recipe: Gentle Hydrating Cream

Instructions:

1. In a heat-safe beaker, combine the distilled water and glycerin. Heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F).
2. In a separate heat-safe beaker, combine the Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Shea Butter, and Jojoba Oil. Heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F), stirring until completely melted.
3. Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously stirring with a stick blender or whisk.
4. Continue stirring for several minutes until a smooth emulsion forms.
5. Remove from heat and continue stirring gently as the cream cools down.
6. Once the cream has cooled to below 40°C (104°F), add the Geogard Ultra and stir gently until fully incorporated.
7. Transfer the cream to a clean container.

Application Recommendations:

• Recommended Usage Rate: The typical usage rate for Geogard Ultra in cosmetic formulations is between 0.75% and 2.0%, depending on the specific formulation and water content. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for optimal usage levels for your product type.
• pH Considerations: Geogard Ultra is most effective within a pH range of 3.0 to 6.0. Ensure your final product pH falls within this range for optimal preservation.
• Addition Phase: It is generally recommended to add Geogard Ultra during the cool-down phase of your formulation (below 40°C / 104°F) to prevent potential degradation of the preservative.
• Solubility: Geogard Ultra is water-soluble and should be thoroughly mixed into the aqueous phase of your formulation.
• Compatibility: Geogard Ultra is generally compatible with most cosmetic ingredients. However, it's always recommended to conduct compatibility testing in your specific formulation.
• Storage: Store Geogard Ultra in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its efficacy.
• Testing: While Geogard Ultra offers broad-spectrum protection, it is crucial to conduct appropriate microbial challenge testing (preservative efficacy testing) on your final product to ensure adequate preservation according to relevant regulatory guidelines.
• Manufacturer Guidelines: Always consult the manufacturer's technical data sheet for the most up-to-date information, recommended usage levels for specific product types, and any specific handling instructions for Geogard Ultra.
