## Overview

SaaQin Germaben II is a ready-to-use, clear viscous liquid preservative system designed for personal care products like shampoos and lotions. It offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection by combining Germall II with methylparaben and propylparaben, dissolves easily at 1% concentration across a wide pH range, and is compatible with a variety of cosmetic ingredients including proteins and herbal extracts. Ideal for cold-processed formulations, it ensures product safety and longevity for up to one year after opening.

## Description

Germaben II is an ideal preservative system for shampoos, hair conditioners and emulsion products. Germaben II minimizes the problems associated with incorporating solid Parabans. It dissolves completely in cosmetic formulations at a 1.0% concentration over a wide pH range. It can be conveniently incorporated into cold processed shampoos and into creams and lotions during their manufacture. The preferred method of addition of Germaben II is to add it slowly to the product with good stirring just prior to the addition of the fragrance. Germaben II has also been successfully used to preserve troublesome formulations containing nonionic surfactants, proteins, soluble collagen, aloe vera extracts and herbal extracts. The broad spectrum of activity obtained by the combination of Germall II with methylparaben and propylparaben provides the preservation protection necessary for sophisticated personal care products. Germaben II is recommended to be used at a level of up to 1.0%. This level provides to the product: 0.30% Germall II, 0.11% methylparaben, 0.03% propylparaben and 0.56% propylene glycol. Shampoos and liquid soaps generally require less than 1.0% Germaben II. Every developed or modified product should be challenge tested to assure preservative efficacy. Germaben II is a clear viscous liquid with a characteristic mild odor. It is readily soluble at a level of 1.0% in both aqueous solutions and oil/water emulsions. Germaben II is a convenient, ready to-use complete preservative system with a broad spectrum of activity. Germaben II can be used without additional co-preservatives and is compatible with essentially all cosmetic ingredients, including surfactants and proteins.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it preserve a product? Like hair gel or lotion .**
A: From what I have learned from researching so far Germaben ii is a broad spectrum perservative, meaning it preserves against  both mold and bacteria. This perservative will actively perserve a product from anywhere between 12 to 18 months. This includes products such as body butters or whips and emulsified products and in a broad spectrum of cosmetic products. For the 
preservation of such products listed above this would be a very good perservative to include in your recipe. But for any product that shall be preserved this should indeed be researched for the best solution to the nature of the product. Also I have read this perservative is used For lotion making. Personally I would prefer Optiphen plus for lotion making or any aqueous made solutions and would not recommend this to be used as a perservative in aqueous made solutions.

**Q: How much should you use for a product? For example, if I made a jar of whipped shea butter thats 8 oz, how much preservative should I use?**
A: You should use UP TO 1% of the total weight/volume of the product you are putting it in. Recommended dosage is between 0.05% and 1% of the total volume of the product. So, if you product is 8 oz, you should use no more than .08 oz of germaben ii preservative.

**Q: Can this product be used for face masks?**
A: I had use this product for a face cream because I had use water & oil, never used it in my mask no need. I highly recommend this product to keep my products good for about 2 years, my body lotion broke down to liquid form ( I feel is due to the hot climate) but was still good to use, no discolour, odour, or fungus.

**Q: is This like optiphen?**
A: Both are broad spectrum preservatives. Optiphen contains Phenoxyethanol + Sorbic Acid. Germaben II contains Propylene Glycol (and) Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Methylparaben (and) Propylparaben
