Comparison Chart for Common Preservatives?

[Clarice]

Hi There

Is there a comparison chart for the various preservatives I see discussed here?

I am thinking of something like a cheat sheet that has a summary of qualities and limitations / advantages of various preservatives?

pH Range
Water Soluble
Oil Content of Formula
Max Temp at which to add
Percent recommended

ETC?

I am trying to decide which to order for some basic personal care products (body butters, sugar scrubs, shampoo, lotions, etc.) and I find myself befuddled!

Thanks!

If none exists I may start one and share with you for your thoughts - perhaps would be helpful to others and I will learn!

New Directions Australia also has one for the products they sell.

Hope this helps.
