Whether you're crafting lotions, serums, or shampoos in your home kitchen, craft room, or professional esthetician studio, this skincare preservative delivers contamination protection without the harsh synthetic chemicals found in conventional preservatives. Unlike germall preservative, geogard preservative, or cosgard preservative options that rely on synthetic compounds, our ECOCERT COSMOS-standard formula harnesses the power of Leuconostoc kimchii bacteria fermentation. This natural preservative lotion solution works within pH 3-8 and remains heat stable up to 140°F (70°C), making it perfect for your preservative lotion-making process during the cooling phase. At a 4% usage rate, your 4oz bottle creates approximately 100oz of finished product—enough for 12+ standard batches. This preservative for creams, serums, and conditioner formulations is compatible with popular actives including Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, giving you complete creative freedom. The virtually odorless formula with a pale yellow color won't interfere with your finished products. Perfect for year-round formulation projects, holiday gift-making, and weekend DIY sessions, this preservative for conditioner and soap preservative alternative suits every season and occasion. Store in a cool, dry place; detailed usage instructions included with your order. Important: Leucidal Liquid provides mild protection. For full-spectrum preservation, combine with Sodium Benzoate and Gluconoate, or choose Leucidal Complete Preservative. We recommend stability and challenge testing for all formulations. For cosmetic use only. Formulate with confidence knowing Skin Perfection has supported DIY creators for nearly a decade with education, clarity, and concentrated ingredients designed for customization. ## Features - Clean Beauty Standard Quality: Formulation ingredient, not for direct skin use. Perfect for DIY formulators, estheticians, and small-batch beauty business owners seeking a lotion preservative natural solution that meets ECOCERT COSMOS standards, is listed by Whole Foods, GMO-free, and Vegan Compliant; this safe cosmetic preservative for cosmetics works beautifully in shampoos, conditioners, and custom client products for weekend formulation projects or growing your clean beauty side business - Complete Protection System Guidance: Unlike synthetic alternatives such as Germall Plus or Optiphen, this leucidal liquid preservative complete meets ECOCERT COSMOS standards; as a mild protectant, pair with Sodium Benzoate and Gluconoate for broad spectrum preservative natural full-spectrum protection, or upgrade to Leucidal SF Complete; store in a cool, dry place and formulate with confidence knowing your creations are backed by nearly a decade of formulator use - HOW TO USE:Add Leucidal Liquid at 2–4% to the cool-down phase of any water-containing formula, below 40°C, which keeps the ferment active and gives your batch a working shelf life without a synthetic preservative system. - WHO IT'S FOR:Made for hobby and small-batch formulators who want a radish root ferment instead of parabens or phenoxyethanol, so you can hand someone a jar of your own lotion and answer every ingredient question they ask. - PAIRS WITH:Works alongside hyaluronic acid bases, aloe, hydrosols, emulsified lotions and creams, and any peptide booster you are adding at the cool-down stage — one preservative choice covers the whole shelf of what you make. - HOW IT DIFFERS:Radish root ferment holds best in formulas at pH 3–8 and suits leave-on products; if your base runs alkaline or contains a high surfactant load, Leucidal Liquid Complete or SF Max is the better fit from the same family. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B072M7YVFQ | | ASIN | B072M7YVFQ | | Active Ingredients | lactic_acid | | Best Sellers Rank | #174,943 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) #2,720 in Body Lotions | | Brand Name | Skin Perfection | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (365) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (365) | | Date First Available | 9 February 2022 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Highlight | Natural alternative to synthetic preservatives for DIY serums & lotion making.
