Sebum stabilized solution is preserved with a fungicide and bactericide for two years of shelf life at room temperature. Artificial Sebum without stabilized known as non-stabilized sebum if this product is kept frozen and then it has a shelf life of one year.

Note : Custom formulations at varying pH (2-9) can be made as either the stabilized or non- stabilized solutions.

Artificial Sebum stabilized version has a preservative that prevents microbial growth and can then be stored at room temperature. The not stabilized version has no preservative and must be kept frozen until you intend to use it. You may need this version if you are testing a product that claims to prevent microbial growth or odor from perspiration. Our Artificial Sebum normally comes at pH 4.5, however, we can make it custom from pH 2.0 – 9.0.
