PRESERVATIVES

We have two Leucidal preservatives for your formulation use!
Here at Shay and Company we have done our best to bring in a small mixture of different preservatives that you can use in your formulas. All products that contain water should have a preservative system or they will start to grow mold. We are providing these preservatives for you BUT you must do your own formulating and challenge testing for your finished products. Shay and Company holds no liability for the outcome of your products.

We have two versions of the very popular Leucidal Liquid preservatives for you.
