Et alsidigt og effektivt konserveringsmiddel, der er godkendt af både Ecocert og Cosmos. Farven er let gullig, men det betyder ikke noget i det færdige produkt.

Cosgard is the preservative I use in absolutely all the cosmetic products I make. By observing the recommended dosage, I have never had the unpleasant surprise that any of the cosmetics I have made has altered during its shelf life.

I've noticed that, unlike vitamin E, cosgard products keep better. I wonder if we could combine them. I don't see the problem, but I haven't tried it yet.

One of the preservatives I trust and decently priced. I use it in creams and the resulting texture was exactly how I wanted. It is stable, had no reaction with other ingredients. Recommendation.

I fully appreciate both the effectiveness of this preservative and the wide, permissible pH range. But what I disliked just as much with the last batch purchased (no. 78784) was the effect of changing the final odor of an aqueous serum into a too strong, pungent, hospital disinfectant...so I will no longer be able to use it for products to which I cannot add essential oils or fragrances on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has lowered my pH by more than one unit(!!!! ) the pH of all the products I have used it on ( creams, cleansers, lotions, serums), which has never happened to me before and for sure this has cost me stress and quite a long extra time for adjustment; basically, it took more time for adjustment and countless checks than the actual realization of the products, and such a pH issue I really didn't expect from Cosgard who I have worked with for years without any problems so far 🙉. The 4* rating is for Cosgard in general, so as not to damage its reputation; for this batch however, please infer that I could only offer a very low one and please do some more tests to confirm/refirm the problem I have noticed. 🙏🏻

I used this product to prepare an exfoliating serum. I think it is a good product since the serum has kept its consistency and properties for more than 3 months (minimum shelf life of the serum).
