Hi. I just found you, and I’m binge watching. I’m trying to learn. I’m currently making my own vitamin c serum. I have melasma caused by hormonal issues bc of endocrine disrupters in products. I’m trying to learn to do my own chemical free products. However, I do realize that the product needs to be used quickly if there’s no preservatives. I would like to add a natural preservative. What would you recommend? Here’s the recipe I’m following: GloryB-TV DIY Viramin C Serum with Ferulic Acid video’s recipe. 20% viramin C serum ( 1/5 of solution is vitamin C powder) Part1. 1/2 teaspoon of ascorbic acid Part 2. 1/2 teaspoon glycerin Part 3 & 4 2 of the 1/2 teaspoons) 1 teaspoon distilled water ( I used rose water) Part 5. The 1/2 teaspoon is split up. 1/4 teaspoon distilled water 1/8 teaspoon vitamin E oil ( it was like 8 drops) 1/8 teaspoon ferulic acid Dissolve the ferulic acid in Vodka or Witch hazel. Put just enough to liquify it. I used about 3 droppers of witch hazel. Kojic Heat mixed rose water and ferulic acid solution to 104 degrees F, not above ( 40 C) that’s what it says to activate kojic acid to be used ( 1 part kojic to 6 parts water)

It’s always easier to use Liquid Germal plus cause it’s broad spectrum that works well for water based products

Leucidal SF Complete and Optiphen. Thank you!

[@OceNatural]

You got it!

[@SimplyNeema]

@@OceNatural are you using the Leucidal sf complete and optiphen together or are they sufficient separately? I intend on making a cream lotion for my daughter who’s has eczema and I’ve found a lot of preservatives are irritants for those with eczema except for the Leucidal complete. So is that okay to use on its own?

[@chrisbenj3819]

Would I need a preservative for aloe, Shea, cocoa, Jajoba oil diy lotion?

[@CaroldestinyGodaboveall-ej7ce]

Wow God bless you for the kindness

[@rhiannal.7913]

I love your videos queen. I wanted to know if any of these perservatives be used with aloe vera?

[@OceNatural]

Thanks so much I appreciate that . You won’t be able to preserve fresh aloe Vera with these preservatives .

[@rhiannal.7913]

@@OceNatural thank you for responding. Do you know of any good ways to perserve fresh aloe vera?

[@OceNatural]

@@rhiannal.7913 You are welcome. Unfortunately no. I buy organic processed aloe vera gel that has already been preserved.

What amount of optiphen preservatives do you use . How do you calculate it to add to your products?

Is liquid germall plus preservative safe to use in DIY niacinamide serum? Does it cause any side effects

[@OceNatural]

Please do your research regarding niacinamide serum and preserving it . Everyone reacts differently to preservatives . Liquid Germall plus is broad spectrum preservative but it’s not a natural preservative . I wouldn’t be able to tell you if it causes any side effects.

[@naturalbeauty4082]

Hi thanks for the information I wanted to ask you if I am making a black soap shampoo can I use liquid germal plus or optiphen

[@OceNatural]

Hi! You are welcome . Yes you can but pay attention to the ph. Black soap has a high ph range. Both preservatives you mentioned only go as high as 8 so be sure to check the Ph level of your black soap before adding the preservative

Hai I am latha . Where r u buy the préservative.

[@maameaba6695]

How many tea spoons or table spoons is enough when using preservatives pls

[@OceNatural]

Hello please follow the manufacturer guidelines . Every preservative has a different amount to use in your product .

[@simplyb.8959]

It's done in grams not teaspoons or tablespoons. You can google the conversion of tbsp into grams etc.

[@summernecole993]

I am looking for perservatives to use in my hair cream that has water and oil and hair butter with no water.. I am confused on what perservatives I can use for haircare.

[@OceNatural]

The preservatives mentioned in this video can be used for hair and skincare .

[@ashleyward5416]

Do lip gloss require preservatives?

[@OceNatural]

No. As long as you are not adding water or water products in it

[@simplyb.8959]

@@OceNatural If you are using a water bv based product in lip gloss would Leucidal SF Complete work? Thank you.

[@OceNatural]

@@simplyb.8959 I am not too familiar with water based products in lip glosses. Usually they are oil based and not needing a preservative. I would suggest looking into preservatives like Phenonip, and Optiphen but definitely do some more research on that.

[@debrahutchinson786]

What do I need to check the ph of my DIY products?

[@OceNatural]

You can use a ph meter or ph strips . Can be purchased from Amazon or Etsy

[@vanessabrowne2322]

Can you do a video on how to calculate preservative for lotion

[@OceNatural]

@@vanessabrowne2322 Yes most definitely!

[@sharonstone2955]

What happens if I use too much germall plus in my soap

[@OceNatural]

You always want to follow the correct usage rate for any preservative you are using

[@margaretolasanoye5700]

0.5percent is how many grams

[@ngechetaza1248]

You convert that in grams depending on your batch size
