Germall II powder turned stone hard

[PippiL]

One jar I used a little, the other one was still unused.They are both completely stone hard ?????
Is it the humidity? Can I do something to make it soft again???

Throw them away. Moisture got to it.

wonder how, one was never opened ???
Does it mean the potency will be gone?

It happened to me also. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that the the moisture compromised the efficacy of the preservative. I threw mine away.

I bought the powder thinking it would last longer. It didn't. I now get it as a liquid.

sorry, one more question, can I use Germall II plus in sugar scrub, since it is all oil based?

 

[soapbuddy]

Germall Plus works the best in water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions. For scrubs that have no water, but water might get introduced into the jar, I would use Phenonip (paraben based) or Optiphen (non paraben based).

That sucks - I have mine triple packaged to keep moisture away from it....
