Incorporating Mild Preserved without Propylene Glycol
Question
Is it possible to incorporate 1% Mild Preserved into a formulation using Pro Polymer or Light Cream Maker without pre-dissolving it in Propylene Glycol? If so, how should it be done, and what concentration of Pro Polymer is needed for 1% Mild Preserved?
Answer
Incorporating Mild Preserved without Propylene Glycol
Yes, you can incorporate Mild Preserved at 1% into a formulation using Pro Polymer or Light Cream Maker without pre-dissolving it in Propylene Glycol.
Based on the information, Mild Preserved does not require pre-dissolving in Propylene Glycol. You can add it directly to your formulation in the final step, after the cream or gel base has been formed using thickeners/emulsifiers like Pro Polymer or Light Cream Maker.
Using Pro Polymer or Light Cream Maker helps to suspend or emulsify the Mild Preserved within the formula, ensuring it is evenly distributed and effective.
Regarding the concentration, using 1% Pro Polymer is suitable for suspending 1% Mild Preserved. Even 0.5% Pro Polymer has been indicated as sufficient for suspending 1% Mild Preserved.
