Leucidal® Liquid SF | Natural Moisturizing Ingredient for DIY Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid, & Hyaluronic Acid Powder Serum, Facial Lotion & Other Cosmetic Making Formulations, 1 oz | RESURRECTIONbeauty

Most recommendations call for DIY lotions to be in pumps to prevent introduction of bacteria. However, I've after making lotions for my use in salve containers, I haven't found any spoilage of my lotions (using this product as a preservative) even though my fingers dip in the pot several times per day, each day for going on 6 months now. I do not always wash my hands with soap immediately before using my lotions, either. Of course, you have to be watchful for your own results but this was the experience with my recipes and with my usage.

Used this in my homemade lotion and have had ZERO issues. I hope this product continues to be made available so I can keep putting it in my product as a natural preservative.

I use this in DIY skincare to prevent bacterial growth and contamination, and to extend the life of products. It works! A little goes a long way. Antimicrobial ingredients are a must if you're into DIY skincare. I've never had an issue with sensitivity or allergy to this ingredient, but your mileage may vary! Test everything with a patch skin test prior to use!

Nice! really nice. Don't have no smell and it does really well on my face

I use this along with "linatural" in my lotion and cream recipes. Togther they make a powerful preservative system, "that is based on natural science. " This product alone WILL NOT be powerful enough to preserve lotions. Yet with the addition of Linatural (or Amticide Coconut,or other broad spectrum preservative) it is part of a strong system to keep your lotions and other water based emulsions safe for use and free of bacteria, mold, and other contaminants. It's SO nice to have a safe alternative to parabens in lotion making.

I just purchase this preservative. The lotion recipe calls for 4% to be used. I’m not sure how to measure out 4%. The directions on the bottle just say to use 2%-4% but does not list how many drop to use. Should this preservative be heated before use ? Please rely. This is my first attempt at making lotion. Thanks much.

Excellent antimicrobial solution for my healing/moisturizing recipes.I use it in both my lotion and my cream.I like it very much. I am so happy it showed up among Amazon's recommended goodies.I can tell a difference in my complexion since adding this to my recipes.What great timing as I was sure needing this and didn't know where to look.

This leucidal liquid comes conveniently in a glass dropper bottle. It has almost no scent to it, and it works really well to bind liquids and oils together. It's natural, easy to use, and a must for those who love making homemade skincare products. I've used it in my natural facial scrub, and it works really well. The aloe vera gel and plant oils blended easily. I highly recommend it!
