Skin Perfection Leucidal Liquid Complete - Alternative Preservative for Lotion Making with Radish Root Liquid & Coconut Extract - Leucidal Complete Preservative for Cosmetics & Skincare Products 0.5oz

I love this stuff!!! Especially the fact that it is a 'natural' preservative. Being a celiac and having multiple food sensitivities reading labels is a chore. I use this as a preservative in my shampoo bars I make. The effectivness is great. I have never had mold grow on the bars. It works and protects for a long time. I received the jug and not the glass bottle. It is small but it last a long time. It doesnt take much to do the job. It is very thick and needs warmed to thin it up to use. I will definitely be purchase this again and again and again.

Great for skin care products

It worked very well. Just as described will be slightly solid.

The product was good. I purchased it because I was in a bit of a crunch to get an order out, but it is way over priced for a 4 oz size considering other competitors provide 8x the quantity for the same price. I'd be a regular customer if it was priced accordingly. If time is of the essence, and you have to bite the bullet on cost, this would be the next best option with Amazon's free next day delivery.

I have been using this as my preservative for 3 years now for my main 2 lotion recipes. I've had no bad batches. I have a friend who also has a small business in body care and she was remorseful of using it, as her lotion molded 2 weeks after making it. However I bleach all of my equipment in a 1/10 including my lotion bottles, and wipe my pump and straw down with rubbing alcohol before filling my bottle and I have never once had that experience. I also wait until my lotion is about 100°f before adding my preservative.

I just learnt about Leucidal Complete recently and would like to give it a try. This is the smallest size offered, which was perfect for my first trial. I was too excited for my first DIY project that I skipped through the instruction and didn't warm up the bottle. Sent Skin Perfection a question and got the answer early next day. I attempted again and this time it was perfect.I'll definitely get at least a 4oz size next time. It is way cheaper that way. This is the most natural preservative I can try and allows me to work on recipes involves water.

as expected

Extremely hard to open. Couldn't even use it. I don't know how anybody else is getting it open. The packaging is very cute but how do you get it open. You can only grip it and push down and turn so far without hitting your knuckles

Doesn’t work
