PRESERVASOL 10 ml

Why a 10 ml bottle of Preservasol suits small test batches of cosmetics

The 10 ml size of Preservasol preservative is designed for formulators who need a small quantity to trial a new recipe before committing to a larger production run. This item belongs to the Preservatives and Antioxidants section, which brings together ingredients responsible for protecting water-based formulations from bacteria, mold and yeast throughout their shelf life.

The main demand for this type of preservative comes from skin and hair care products - creams, lotions, serums, shampoos and conditioners - where the aqueous phase acts as a breeding ground for microorganisms if left unprotected. Beyond personal care, similar preservatives are widely used in household chemistry, including liquid soaps, gels and cleaning products that also contain a water phase requiring stabilization against microbial growth over time on the shelf.

Preservasol pairs well with other stabilizers, which allows formulators to broaden the protective spectrum of a recipe. For stronger antimicrobial coverage it is often combined with Benzyl Alcohol, which also acts as a solvent for fragrance compounds. For gentler formulas aimed at sensitive skin, a pairing with Silver Citrate adds an extra layer of antiseptic support. When a formula needs broader coverage against fungi and gram-negative bacteria, adding StrongGuard preservative to the mix is worth considering.

A typical dosage for Preservasol ranges from 0.3 to 1 percent of the total batch weight, though the exact figure depends on the water content and overall composition of the product, so a small trial batch is recommended before scaling up. The preservative should be added during the cooling stage, once the mixture has dropped below 40 degrees, since high heat can reduce the effectiveness of its active compounds. Mix thoroughly until the preservative is fully dissolved into the aqueous phase.

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Under these conditions the preservative retains its stated performance for the full shelf life indicated by the manufacturer.

Trial facial serum, 100 ml batch

Distilled water 78 g

Aloe vera juice 8 g

Glycerin 5 g

Hyaluronic acid solution 3 g

Panthenol 2 g

Niacinamide powder 3 g

Preservasol preservative 0.6 g

Combine the distilled water, aloe vera juice and glycerin in a clean container and warm gently to around 40 degrees while stirring. Remove from heat, dissolve the hyaluronic acid solution and niacinamide powder into the mixture, then let it cool below 40 degrees before adding the Preservasol preservative. Stir thoroughly until fully dissolved, transfer the serum into a sterilized bottle and leave it for 24 hours before checking texture and stability.

Знайшла тут все необхідне для створення власних твердих шампунів. Вони чудово піняться та доглядають за волоссям.
