Optiphen Plus Preservative (60 ml / 2 fl oz) - Cosmetic Grade Broad-Spectrum Protection for Serums Lotions Creams Shampoos & DIY Formulations

I ordered this Optiphen plus because I make my own handmade lotion. I typically pay $6.99 per ounce from a trusted source outside of Amazon that I’ve ordered through for years. This 2 ounce bottle on sale for eight dollars and some change is a great deal. The price point is fair even at full price at $10.99. The look of the product falls in line with the look of products I’ve ordered from trusted vendors. I haven’t actually used this product yet, but the only true test is to add it to my lotion and see if the lotion holds up for an entire year. I didn’t wanna wait that long to make this review but should it not work out I will update my review.

This is a good preservative as it helps to slightly lower pH, can be used in hot concoctions also.

Making organic care products, I needed to use a preservative. This was the best I could find. Happy with it

This is a really good preservative it helped keep my skincare products good and helped it spoiling for a long time. It's been a few months and the product still seems to be doing well so I would definitely recommend this was really easy to use. Just don't exceed one percent usage.

I’ve been using Optiphen Plus Preservative in my DIY skincare and haircare projects, and I’m loving it! It’s been super helpful for making my own lotions, sugar scrubs, and even serums. I usually stick to small batches since I tend to use them up quickly, but I love that this preservative keeps everything fresh. It’s so easy to use—just 0.5% of the recipe, and it blends right in. It gives me peace of mind knowing my homemade products are safer and will last without the need for parabens. I’ve never had an issue with the products going bad. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a natural preservative that’s both effective and simple to use. Definitely recommend if you’re into DIY skincare!
