Formulation Analysis: Odor Eliminator Spray

Regarding the formula you provided:

• DeoMax™ Liquid 2%
• Polysorbate 20 (Tween 20) 4%
• Fragrance 2%
• Water 92%

Suitability for Use:
This formula, containing an odor eliminator (DeoMax™ Liquid), a solubilizer (Polysorbate 20), fragrance, and water, is fundamentally structured like a basic water-based spray. If DeoMax™ Liquid is effective and compatible with water, this could potentially work as an air or bathroom spray to eliminate odors.

However, using this formula on people or pets requires caution. The safety and suitability depend entirely on the specific type and concentration of the "DeoMax™ Liquid" ingredient and the fragrance used. Without specific information about "DeoMax™ Liquid" from our product database, we cannot confirm its safety or efficacy for direct application on skin or animals. It is generally safer to use such a formulation only as a room or surface spray unless the ingredients are specifically certified safe for skin/pet contact.

Need for Preservative:
Yes, a preservative is absolutely necessary for this formula. Since water makes up 92% of the formulation, it is highly susceptible to microbial contamination (bacteria, mold, and yeast). Without a preservative, the product will likely spoil quickly, potentially becoming unsafe or ineffective. Adding a suitable broad-spectrum preservative is crucial for product stability and safety.
