maker reviews & questions
questions
Qwill this preserve my product?
kimiya staffNo — it's an antioxidant, not a preservative. It slows oils going rancid but does not control microbial growth; water-containing products still need a preservative.
Qhow much do i use?
kimiya staffAntioxidant use is commonly a few tenths of a percent; confirm the form and dose per the TDS.
