I don't care for using the powdered Germall Plus, (though you can @ .05 -m .2% to your water phase) so I wanted to turn it into liquid. Lotion Crafter had a clearance on this so they no longer carry it but, you can find the powder at www.formulatorsampleshop.com/germall-plus-powder.html , Soap and More in Canada, Green Iguana Bath, Canwax and Botanic Planet.
