Please note that this product contains gluten-free glycerin as a base and synthetic ascorbic acid for adjusting the pH.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapefruit Seed Extract is used primarily as an antioxidant in oil serums and creams. It has become increasingly popular as a 'natural' preservative in DIY products, though it is important to understand that Grapefruit Seed Extract is not in itself a full-spectrum preservative. In fact, botanical ingredients that are touted as natural, once used with a water phase, must be preserved to keep microbial counts down to safe levels. A full-spectrum preservative would need to be added to achieve the desired results. As always, customers are advised to conduct their own trials to determine suitability for their purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRecommended Use \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsage:\u003cbr\u003e• Can be used in a wide variety of personal care formulations for reliable preservation.\u003cbr\u003e• Soluble in water and alcohol and organic solvents.\u003cbr\u003e• Compatible with most cosmetic raw materials.\u003cbr\u003e• Recommended use levels in a finished formulation are 0.1 to 1.0%.\u003cbr\u003e• The most effective range is 1.5 – 3.0 when the GSE is in its purest form, but it works out of that range as well.\u003cbr\u003eStorage: Keep in a cool dry location away from direct sunlight\u003cbr\u003eShelf Life: 24+ Months\u003cbr\u003eINCI: Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract (and) Glycerin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5421\/2003\/files\/SDS_-_Grapefruit_Seed_Extract_Preservative_1747970f-deb1-4ee0-bff1-17d93e7272a0.pdf?v=1746933648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSDS\u003c\/a\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5421\/2003\/files\/CoA_-_Grapefruit_Seed_Extract_Preservative_ea026b44-d20c-4a10-abf4-36797e11d33e.pdf?v=1746930285\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCoA-\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eLOT: BN5003053468\/AP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5421\/2003\/files\/CoA_-_Grapefruit_Seed_Botanical_Extract_Powder_86266641-f69b-4c1f-a410-3afe3a1b68f9.pdf?v=1746930947\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCoA-\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLOT: BN5001513821\/AP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5421\/2003\/files\/CoA_-_Grapefruit_Seed_Extract_Preservative_2.pdf?v=1746931619\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCoA-\u003cspan class=\"WdYUQQ\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLOT: BN16006001033\/AP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bulk Naturals","offers":[{"title":"1oz Glass","offer_id":44691554762796,"sku":"3181684162165","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2oz Glass","offer_id":44691554828332,"sku":"3181684162172","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz Glass","offer_id":44691554893868,"sku":"3181684162196","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8oz Glass","offer_id":44691554959404,"sku":"3181684162219","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16oz Glass","offer_id":44691555024940,"sku":"3181684162233","price":158.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32oz HDPE Jug","offer_id":44691555057708,"sku":"3731814152674","price":291.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32oz Glass","offer_id":44691555090476,"sku":"3181684162257","price":292.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/d78f6f81-541a-472d-99b6-2ed5a8208e21_2dc6005d-f3eb-436d-b2a1-21097f3f8ada.jpg?v=1755794502","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/grapefruit-seed-extract-preservative-gse","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
