Answer

Preservatives for Cream That Do Not Alter Fragrance

For a preservative suitable for cream that will not alter the scent of your perfume, consider using Mild Preserved™ COS. This broad-spectrum preservative is water-soluble, effective in a wide pH range (2-8), and is specifically described as odorless, making it an excellent choice for formulations where fragrance integrity is important.

Other preservatives found include:

  • Preserve-Free BHL™: Described as having a unique smell, but is highly effective and gentle.
  • Global Guard™ 221: A water-soluble broad spectrum preservative with a yellow color.
  • Preserve-BSB™: Contains Benzyl Alcohol and is effective up to pH 5.5.
  • Preserve-Free CE85™: Offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and has a unique smell.
  • NaturePreserve™ LB2: An anti-bacterial agent effective at low pH values (2.0-6.5).

Always perform a challenge test on your final formulation to ensure the preservative is effective and compatible with all ingredients, including the fragrance.
