Leucidal Liquid 10 ml

A gentle route to microbial protection for natural formulations

Demand for clean-label and organic personal care products continues to grow worldwide, pushing formulators to look beyond conventional preservative chemistry. A radish root ferment produced through natural fermentation has become one of the preferred choices for brands building minimally processed formulas. This item belongs to the Preservatives and Antioxidants category, which brings together various systems for protecting emulsions and water phases from microbial contamination. The 10 ml size is well suited for home-based formulation work, sample batches, and trial runs before committing to larger production volumes.

The main application area is skin and body care: creams, lotions, emulsions, serums, hydrosols, and milky formulas. The ingredient shows strong activity against bacteria, though its effect on yeasts and molds is more limited, which is why formulators typically pair it with a complementary broad-spectrum system. A practical partner is Optiphen BD 10 ml, which helps close gaps in fungal protection. Many recipes also rely on a phenoxyethanol-based blend such as Phenonip XB preservative 10 ml to keep the finished product stable during storage in humid production environments.

This preservative should be added at the final cooldown stage of an emulsion, at a temperature below 40 degrees, to preserve the activity of the fermented compounds. Typical usage rates range from 2 to 4 percent of the total formula weight, though the exact amount should be adjusted based on other antimicrobial components present and the intended shelf life of the finished product. It blends well with plant extracts, hydrosols, oils, and most emulsifiers without disrupting texture or stability. For formulators seeking broader antifungal coverage, the complete version of the same product line, Leucidal Liquid Complete 10 ml, offers additional protective components within one system.

Store the preservative in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, in a cool dark place. Once opened, use the contents within the timeframe recommended by the supplier to maintain full activity. Beyond creams and lotions, this ingredient is also used in natural deodorant formulas, emulsion-based hair masks, and select household cosmetic products where a mild yet effective water phase protection is required.
