You're sharing gold. Love your videos but I've a question, let's say I'm making a hair oil in which I'll be using onions and onions are 89% water so am i supposed to use a preservative or i don't need to?
It's good to add a mild preservative in body butters, for containers that can expose the product, since a lot of people accidentally introduce water into their products with wet hands.
God bless you, thank you for sharing! Very clear, honest and helpful video. I’ve been wanting to make homemade skin and hair care for my daughter and myself but didn’t feel confident enough when it came to addition of preservatives -feel I can do this confidently and safety now🙏🏼
Thanks for your videos .have been washing more of your videos lately because am interested in starting my own DIY cosmetic products for small business this 2023 thanks for sharing your knowledge
It's a must to keep products chilled. And to never use water that will bacterarilize the product. If home temp is kept at 72° small glass contained amounts will last on the bathroom sink and inn your purse...on-the-go.
Microbiological study of cosmetic products during their use by consumers: health risk and efficacy of preservative systems Aim: To evaluate the microbial contamination of 91 cosmetics (23 o/w emulsions, 47 tensiolytes, 21 aqueous pastes) in three different states of use (intact, in-use, ending product) and the protection efficacy of the preservative systems most frequently used in the analysed cosmetic formulations. Methods and results: Total bacterial count, isolation and identification of pathogenic isolates were performed on the collected cosmetics. About 10.6% of tensiolytes (13.5% bath foam, 6.7% shampoo, 10% liquid soaps) were contaminated by Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas putida. The efficacy of the preservative systems of two cosmetic products, tested against standard micro-organisms (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 4338 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027) and two isolates from cosmetics in this study (S. epidermidis and P. putida), satisfied the Cosmetics, Toiletries, and Fragrance Association and Official Italian Pharmacopeia criteria, while only one tested cosmetic respected the Rapid Challenge Test criterion. Conclusions: Contaminated cosmetic products are relatively uncommon, but some products, unable to suppress the growth of several micro-organisms, represent a potential health hazard. Significance and impact of the study: The challenge test may be performed not only during the preparation of the preservative system in the intact cosmetics, but also be used to evaluate the protection efficacy during their use.
Great video I like your videos very informative ! I suggest you make a how video on how to make a hair twisting cream. It's hard trying to find a good hair twisting cream for my son . Keep doing you
I make lotion by mixing potato juice, onion juice, garlic juice, glycerin, rose water, water, lentil, besan together. It can be preserved for 2-3 months. What preservative should I use? And which preservative should I use?
I’m going to need to use a preservative because I have ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C which are water soluble and also aloe. I ordered geogard 221 because it’s “broad spectrum” but then some say it’s only water soluble.
Hi, thank you for this video, I have a question though : how about using sodium bénzoate and potassium sorbate since many haircare products are made with kitchen ingredients? Thanks for your answer.
Hello, Can I add preservatives to melt and pour soap that will contain 15% of organic additives ? Like (rice water, aloe vera and others). Will it work and preserve my natural soap ? Should I use oil based or water based preservative ? Thank you so much
from all the data received, data were adequate for a refined exposure assessment for 25 out of 79 food categories; based on the reported use levels, a refined exposure (non‐brand‐loyal scenario) of up to 64 mg/kg bw per day in children (3-9 years) was estimated; refined exposure assessments for consumers only of food supplements was also calculated and was up to 38 mg/kg bw per day for children (3-9 years) considering high level exposure (95th percentile); xanthan gum is unlikely to be absorbed intact and is expected to be partially fermented by intestinal microbiota; adequate toxicity data were available; there was no concern with respect to genotoxicity; no adverse effects were reported in chronic studies in rats and dogs up to 1,000 mg/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested. In rats, the compound was not carcinogenic; repeated oral intake by adults of large amounts of xanthan gum up to 15,000 mg/person per day, corresponding to 214 mg/kg bw per day for at least ten days was well tolerated, but some individuals experienced abdominal discomfort, which was considered by the Panel as undesirable but not adverse. I rest my case
Microbiological contamination of cosmetic products - observations from Europe, 2005-2018 Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore whether microbiologically contaminated cosmetic products are available for sale in Europe and what type of contamination was reported. Methods: We searched the European Union Rapid Information System for dangerous non-food products (Rapex), a database of non-compliant products among 31 European countries, to identify microbiologically contaminated cosmetics reported between 2005 and 2018, and present a detailed summary of these notifications. Results: In the years 2005-2018, 104 reports on microbiologically contaminated cosmetics were identified. Twenty of them were products for children. The majority of the products (65.38%) were produced in Rapex member states. In most cases, contamination was caused by Gram-negative bacteria (59.62%), mostly Pseudomonas spp. (35.58%) and Enterobacter spp. (11.54%). Conclusions: Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria are the most common microbiota contaminating cosmetic products in Europe. Most of the reported microbiologically contaminated cosmetics originated from European countries. The Rapid Alert System for non-food consumer products in the EU (RAPEX) notifies each week the member countries on dangerous products sold in the EU. Microbiological contaminated cosmetics pose a potential health risk and are recalled from the market. This study investigated the number of recalled microbiological contaminated cosmetics products in the RAPEX database from 2005 to until week 17 in 2008. A total of 173 cosmetic products were recalled in the period, 24 were contaminated and the most frequently found micro-organism was the pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It appears that the number of contaminated cosmetic products could be two to three times higher in 2008 compared to 2007. The recalled products were manufactured in 17 different countries and only one company had more than one product recalled. It is important to keep monitoring the cosmetic products for contamination because an increasing number of products are recalled each year, and the majority is contaminated with potential pathogenic micro-organism. More knowledge on the reasons for the contamination is needed.
Hi, Thank you for these videos! I have a question, I can't find anything online really. What would you recommend for children's lotion? I've been thinking about using germall plus, but I see it's banned in different countries and has to be in something that gets washed off. I'm looking for something to preserve lotions, but are safe for children around the age 5.
Do you test your products that do have water in them? Or do you just put in the preservative and haven't had any issues? I've seen some videos that say to test your products. At some point I want to sell, but I know testing can be expensive. So I just wanted to know if you test your products that have water in them.
@Oce Natural So I need to find somewhere here in US to do that, that's not incredibly expensive. Or could the home kits work? Or do you not recommend them?
@@reigningbeauty6615I’ll suggest you send to formal lab test because home test result will not be accepted by insurance companies in case anything happens. Only proper lab test from third party can proof your innocence.
Hi, I do love your channel and have followed for awhile. I’m just concerned because some of the preservatives you suggested are known to be dangerous and contain carcinogenic compounds. There are plant-based preservatives available but I never see you or other formulators use them. I know some probably just don’t know they exist and just follow the crowd. Do you know of them or have used them? It’s the same with some emulsifiers, colorants etc. there are safer products on the market but you guys never use them. For instance xanthum gum is synthetic yet many of you use it despite warnings or even suggest guar gum as a plant based alternative (for instance xanthum gum causes digestive issues.)
Hi! I have linked additional preservative resources in the description box . Please check them out when you get a chance. I have a natural preservatives video linked there as well
Xanthan gum is only harmful when digesting but not topically in skincare formulations…it has been used in organic and vegan skincare products because it has no known toxins when it comes to formulating with it in skincare products.
@@therealuricosmetics You know that is not true right? It does not have to be ingested, it has been proven to cause respiratory and digestive issues. Once it is applied it goes straight into the bloodstream
@@theglamourplanner that is true do the research on Xanthan gum…once it’s mixed in an ingredient and is dissolved it does no harm unless digested…just like mica powder is toxic as a powder but once it’s mixed in lipgloss and dissolved it does no harm and is not considered toxic
@@theglamourplanner but to each is own a lot of these products we use and foods we eat are toxic whether organic or not they still spray pesticides on them and all of meats are infected
@ The Glamour planner The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) provides a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of xanthan gum (E 415) as food additive. Following the conceptual framework for the risk assessment of certain food additives re‐evaluated under Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010, the Panel considered that adequate exposure and toxicity data were available. Based on the reported use levels, a refined exposure of up to 64 mg/kg bw per day in children for the general population, 38 mg/kg bw per day for children consumers only of food supplements at the high level exposure and 115 mg/kg bw per day for infants consuming foods for special medical purposes and special formulae (FSMPs), were estimated. Xanthan gum (E 415) is unlikely to be absorbed intact and is expected to be fermented by intestinal microbiota. No adverse effects were reported at the highest doses tested in chronic and carcinogenicity studies and there is no concern with respect to the genotoxicity. Repeated oral intake by adults of xanthan gum up to 214 mg/kg bw per day for ten days was well tolerated, but some individuals experienced abdominal discomfort, an undesirable but not adverse effect. The Panel concluded that there is no need for a numerical ADI for xanthan gum (E 415), and that there is no safety concern for the general population at the refined exposure assessment of xanthan gum (E 415) as food additive. Considering the outcome of clinical studies and post‐marketing surveillance, the Panel concluded that there is no safety concern from the use of xanthan gum (E 415) in FSMPs for infants and young children at concentrations reported by the food industry. The current re‐evaluation of xanthan gum (E 415) as a food additive is not considered to be applicable for infants under the age of 12 weeks.
