Before buying cosmetic and perfumery ingredients: quick answers
Are these complete recipes?
No. Links help compare ingredient roles; they are not a list to mix together. Addition levels and preservation depend on the formula, supplier specifications and testing.
Does Vitamin E replace a preservative?
Vitamin E acetate does not replace microbial preservation. Assess the finished product, particularly when water is present.
How do I select a pack size?
Start with enough for your trials and scale after the formula is established. Grams and kilograms are net weight; millilitres measure volume and are not automatically equivalent. See each product and cart for prices and delivery options.
