Tips

Liquid Germall Plus is a very popular preservative because it's said to work at a large pH range: 3-8. However, there's some spooky info about it being a formaldehyde donor because of the diazolidinyl urea. It's said not to pose a significant risk to health if used as directed within a specific usage rate (0.1-0.5%). It also contains Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, which is banned in lotion and cream products in the UK. Also, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate should NOT be used in products that will be aerosolized or inhaled. (@_@;)
