I absolutely love this company. I can not begin to explain how much I have learned through this company. I used to just diffuse lavender. Now I am making lotions, soaps, candles, etc. I have been able to make a lotion bar to help the neighbor girl with her eczema symptoms. I love that a portion of sales is being donated - LOVE a generous company. I look forward to my box every month like a child at Christmas. Wonderful company and I am so glad that I found them.

What is Geogard ECT Preservative?

INGREDIENTS: Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Glycerin, Sorbic Acid

Geogard ECT Preservative is an eco-friendly preservative that is made up of safe ingredients

How do I use Geogard ECT Preservative?

How to Use Geogard ECT:
1. Measure the pH of your recipe to ensure it is between 3-8. Geogard™ ECT will only work if the product has a pH within this range. You can measure the pH of your product by using pH test strips or a pH meter.
2. Weigh your recipe without the preservative. Your preservative should make up 0.6-1% of the product's total weight. Calculate this amount for your recipe (~6 drops Geogard™ ECT per 1 oz of finished product).
3. Add preservative and stir.

If you are using heat in your recipe (like for an emulsion), make sure to add this preservative to your product after it is cooled to 113°F (45° C) or below.

What else should I know about Geogard ECT Preservative?

It is best to handle the product while wearing gloves, in a well-ventilated space, and to quickly clean up messes.

The shelf life of your product will depend on the conditions it is made in. When you use a sterile environment with this preservative you can expect your recipe to last up to 9 months.

It is best to perform a small skin patch test with your finished product before using it on a larger area of skin to check for irritation.
