One of the best preservatives that Ive ever used. Review: This is a must have in my home - I use this in my homemade lotion recipes and I've never had a problem with it going bad, and I keep it at room temp for months. If I use more water than oil in a recipe, or I add a lot of floral water, I will add Bulk Leucidal SF Natural Preservative along with the Optiphen Plus for extra protection. I've had my lotions hold up for 9 and 10 months without any problems because of these two preservatives, but can't comment on how it does any longer than that because my lotions don't last that long, as I have 3 daughters (ages 4,10,&13), and I make several pounds of lotion when we run out and 9-10 months is the longest one bottle lasted, only because I had body butter and lotion bars at the same time and the girls liked using those first because they liked the scent I used. I also make my own body wash, shampoo, foaming hand soap, conditioner, and hand sanitizer, and the Optiphen Plus seems to do great with all of those except the foaming hand soap. I've had to buy Germaben II for my foaming hand soaps or they go bad quickly and the color goes milky after a few days and it dries your hands out and the feel of it is off after a few days. Other than that, Optiphen Plus is my go to and it's a staple in all of my homemade products. I don't think I'll ever be without it, especially since everything I make is homemade, from household cleaners, to bath and body products. ## Features - Paraben-free - Formaldehyde-free - Best if used within one year from opening ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0184T2Q8C | | Additional Features | Odorless | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #213,091 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #2,791 in Body Lotions | | Brand | SAAQIN | | Brand Name | SAAQIN | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 378 Reviews | | Item Form | sheath | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Manufacturer | SAAQIN® | | Manufacturer Part Number | SQ-OPT-N8 | | Material | Polyisoprene, Rubber, Silicone | | Material Features | Antimicrobial properties | | Material Type | Polyisoprene, Rubber, Silicone | | Material Type Free | Paraben Free | | Model Number | SQ-OPT-N8 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Size | 4 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Odorless | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 682821193101 | | Unit Count | 4 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SAAQIN - **Item Package Quantity:** 1 - **Material:** Polyisoprene, Rubber, Silicone - **Size:** 4 Ounce (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Odorless ## Images ![Optiphen Plus - Optiphen + Water Soluble and Very Gentle Preservative 4 Oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eKT+QZr5L.jpg) ![Optiphen Plus - Optiphen + Water Soluble and Very Gentle Preservative 4 Oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41C1fVhWTdL.jpg) ![Optiphen Plus - Optiphen + Water Soluble and Very Gentle Preservative 4 Oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MSySMyPiL.jpg) ![Optiphen Plus - Optiphen + Water Soluble and Very Gentle Preservative 4 Oz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dlXNPt+7L.jpg) ![Optiphen Plus - Optiphen + Water Soluble and Very Gentle Preservative 4 Oz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uwL9-ykoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it expire? How long does it last?** A: I’ve had some bottles for a good two years with no signs of deterioration at all. I’d say it lasts longer than the expiration date on the label. **Q: Does this prevent mold ?** A: Yes. It is a full spectrum preservative. **Q: Is this product vegan?** A: There is no such thing. All preservatives are plant derived but are in fact chemicals. A vegan preservative is impossible. **Q: What is the expiration date ?** A: Not specified on the bottle. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best *by B***R on April 29, 2025* This is always my go to!

I have been using the preservative formula since about 2017 for my all natural skincare products I make. This preservative is very versatile, effective, and I find it simple to use compared other gentle preservatives that require more mixing, measuring, and formulating. ## Frequently Bought Together - Optiphen Plus - Optiphen + Water Soluble and Very Gentle Preservative 4 Oz - NOW Foods Solutions, Vegetable Glycerin, 100% Pure, Versatile Skin Care, Softening and Moisturizing, 16-Ounce - Emulsifying Wax NF, Non-GMO Premium Quality Polysorbate 60/ Polawax 16 oz / 1 Pound --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20398791-optiphen-plus-optiphen-water-soluble-and-very-gentle-preservative-4](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/20398791-optiphen-plus-optiphen-water-soluble-and-very-gentle-preservative-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
