Question

Can PaeoniaPreserve be used as a preservative in liquid soap? The pH of the soap is around 6-9, depending on the use of Citric Acid for pH adjustment. Can PaeoniaPreserve also be used with all emulsifiers for mixing fragrance in liquid soap?

Answer

Using PaeoniaPreserve™ in Liquid Soap

Yes, you can use PaeoniaPreserve™ (Natural Preservative) in liquid soap formulations. It is a natural preservative suitable for cosmetic products.

Regarding the pH range of 6-9 in your soap (adjusted with Citric Acid), while PaeoniaPreserve™ is designed for cosmetic formulations, the efficacy of any preservative can be influenced by the final product's pH. It is highly recommended to perform a challenge test on your specific liquid soap formulation at its final pH (6-9) to ensure that PaeoniaPreserve™ effectively protects against microbial growth under those conditions.

Concerning compatibility with emulsifiers used for fragrances in liquid soap, the description for PaeoniaPreserve™ does not specify compatibility with all types of emulsifiers. Compatibility can vary depending on the specific emulsifier used. Therefore, you should test the compatibility and stability of your formulation when combining PaeoniaPreserve™ with your chosen fragrance emulsifier.

Citric Acid is suitable for adjusting the pH of cosmetic formulations.
