Skin Perfection Leucidal Liquid SF Max - Leucidal Liquid Preservative for Lotion Making - DIY Alternative Preservative for Homemade Skincare & Cosmetic with Lactobacillus Ferment Protection - 4oz

This is spendy, but if you're into making your own lotions, this is it.

I am an all natural and organic product formulator. I really like the ability of the preservative to keep my products safe from mold, bacteria and fungus. I utilize several other preservatives, this is one of my favs.I didn’t realize that the container was as small as it is for the price, but product works as described.

Smell was great and product was delivered on time.

First time purchasing this product. I'll start by saying the photo used for advertising is VERY deceitful, ( bottle appears large yet fits in my hand) have had ruined batches of lotion by EXCESSIVE drying of the skin with use. (NOT JUST WITH MY SKIN BUT ASKED MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO TRY IT,, ALL WITH SAME RESULTS) Not only was there NOT a full 4oz in the bottle but after reading more information about it, I believe that this batch was bad, old...something, I'm definitely hoping this is not a constant quality. This product is advertised as "protect +skin moisturizing" It does absolutely the opposite. Not only did I get ripped off by the weight being short almost a full ounce but I lost the money I spent on the products I used putting into mixing up a very large batch of unusable lotion. Highy dissatisfied. I have a small amount left but I can't put this in any products!

I like this preservative for my NON AQUEOUS products I would never use this preservative in lotion or any other water containing product because that's not what leucidal liquid is for at least not to be used alone. People using this in products that contain mostly water need to do more research before writing a bad review and further more selling a product to customers that don't have the correct preservative used in it. It is not this sellers responsibility to tell people what products to use this preservative in.I gave 4 stars because it's very expensive for the size.

I'm really disappointed the manufacturer doesn't include a customer service number to call and ask on measurements and percentage of liquid needed to protect (at least 4oz ?) lotion.

Half of the product spilled in transit on one of the bottles But otherwise I am happy with it.

If I could rate lower I would, do not get this it causes our products to mold. We even put more than the recommended amount and our products still mold. Very upset as now we have lost a lot of money in having to throw out the moldy product.
