Information provided is a guideline. Consult stability data for effects of temperature variations on product specifications.

Ensure all formulations undergo stability and microbial testing for adequate preservation.

Please note that the Leucidal® line of products are not conventional preservatives but multifunctional natural antimicrobials. While these products have been successfully used in formulations for nearly two decades, integrating a natural antimicrobial isn't as straightforward as swapping it for a synthetic preservative—formulation techniques may need to be adjusted to ensure effective preservation.
AMT’s natural antimicrobials undergo stringent challenge testing based on Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) Microbiology Guidelines, demonstrating strong performance against common bacteria, yeast, and mold. Leucidal® Liquid offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, though some formulas may require an additional antifungal booster like AMTicide® Coconut. It's also important to understand that AMT ingredients are not biocidal and are not intended to eliminate pre-existing bioburdens; rather, they help safeguard final formulations from contamination. Given the potential for contamination during production, it is crucial for manufacturers to establish and follow rigorous quality control protocols.

Formulation Guidelines:

Ideal for use in a pH range
7.0 – 8.5

Begin with 4.0% Leucidal® Liquid Complete.
Monitor how Leucidal® Liquid Complete interacts with other ingredients in your formulation.

Add Leucidal® Liquid Complete during the cooling phase of the process at temperatures below 70°C, and ensure the pH of the formulation is between 3 and 8.

Leucidal® Liquid Complete can withstand temperatures up to 70°C for 8 hours without affecting its Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) performance.

Due to its cationic nature, Leucidal® Liquid Complete may be incompatible with highly anionic ingredients, such as certain thickeners. Using solubilizing agents may help improve clarity if haziness occurs.

Incorporate Leucidal® Liquid Complete near the end of the formulating process, once the formulation has cooled to below 70°C. For more information on specific anionic thickeners, refer to the FAQs.

Additional Information: Leucidal® Liquid Complete is effective under a wide range of typical cosmetic and personal care product manufacturing conditions. Always pay attention to the conditions under which it is used.
