How do you figure out how much preservative to use? Is there a formula? I read on one website to use 1 ml for every 10ml of liquid in your product. Seeing as how A LOT of the info I have come across is wrong, I thought I would ask here

You need to go by % of the total formula. Preservatives are used at different rates and different temperatures. There is no one size fits all. 1 ml for 10 ml of product is not always true.

Soapbuddy is absolutely right!

The preservative you use should come with guidelines in the form of a percentage, as well as mixing instructions and temperature instructions. Check with you supplier if the bottle or package doesn't give this info.

Ok so the preservative I am looking at using says to use .1% to .5%. How do I determine which percentage is the one I should use?

The products I have that will need a preservative are body mists, facial masks, and lotions

Liquid Germall Plus can be use for masks and lotions, but not for sprays.
Optiphen might work for masks and sprays, but it might make your lotion formula curdle.
Phenonip is oil soluble only, so that might work for lotions, but not for sprays or masks.
