Preservative for Children's Balm (Beeswax & Oil)

For a balm primarily composed of beeswax and oil, intended for use on children with sensitive skin, the staff recommendation of Mild Preserved Eco™ (Preservative-Free) at 1% is a suitable choice.

Based on the product description:

• Suitability for Oil Formulas: Mild Preserved Eco™ can be dispersed in oil, making it appropriate for oil-based formulations like your balm (beeswax and oil).
• Gentleness: It is described as gentle and non-irritating, which is important for sensitive skin and children.
• Preservative-Free Claim: According to FDA regulations, Mild Preserved Eco™ is not classified as a preservative, allowing products using it to be claimed as "preservative-free".
• Recommended Usage: The general recommended usage rate for cosmetic formulas is 1.0-1.5%.

Another similar option that is also gentle and can be dispersed in oil is Mild Preserved SC10™ (Preservative-Free).
