Can I ask what your recipe is for lip balm that you would need a preservative for?

Liquid Germall Plus is not used for anhydrous products and it's not suitable for lip balms or things that could be ingested because of the iodopropynyl butylcarbamate in it.

Glad I asked, I thought I read that it was safe for lipbalms and lotions......so what preservative do I need to get that is safe ingested?

It is great for lotions.

I believe in lotions, usage is 0.1-0.5%
It's added during the cool down phase below 120 degrees

But you'll want to contact your supplier to make sure.

Lip Balms are usually only made of oils, butters, waxes, so they do not need a preservative. I've heard of some people adding vitamin E to them to help prolong shelf life, but that's not the same as a preservative.

Ahh I see! Thank you for the information. I guess I was thinking that a consumer "may" come in contact with water while using a lip balm, so just to cover my tracks I was going to add one. I guess it really not necessary though. Thanks again!

Most commercial lipsticks have a paraben based preservative in it. I would ask your vendor which preservative they recommend for lip based products.

I believe that the usage for vitamin e in lip products is 0.5 to 2%. But you might want to check with your supplier before using.

Here's a great blog that has lots of info about different preservatives and about a million other b & b things. I've learned a lot from this blog over the years.
