Although Germaben II provides excellent preservation, every developed or modified product should be challenge tested to assure preservative efficacy. It is readily soluble at a level of 1.0% in both aqueous solutions and oil/water emulsions. Germaben II is a convenient, ready to-use complete preservative system with a broad spectrum of activity.
