A forum user on the Italian forum Ieson made the following comments (google translate):
I would like to explain something:
The photo of sonication that exposed Spatolatore is a laboratory product (search), unfit to make large quantities.
With such a device it is possible to prepare a few ml at a time, about 6 ml.
Each of you has 100ml.
Considered the short period in which the product could not be prepared to test what and how much you had to use a preservative.
the transport and storage, as long as there are preservatives, must stay below 25 degrees.
Most likely you now have a product that you are totally spoiled.
This is to show you that type of product you have purchased.
the trial will not last much longer. Wait a disclosure by Phidias, it is in her, and also in your best interest, that all the steps are done properly.
Throw years of research to be in a hurry does not help anyone.
The user beps63 made this comment and he has made several comments before which make it seem he has inside information. Also his defensive way of commenting and saying the groupbuy lotion is probably worthless make it seem he his involved in the official lotion.
If you look at the actual patent (https://www.google.com/patents/WO2015170247A1?cl=en) you will see that they don't actually specify that exact quantities or even ingredients. What you normally get with patents is that they make it broad enough so that others can't patent it but vague enough so that competitors can not easily copy it. There are various preservatives in the patent already and mass production should not be a problem, even Retin-A is unstable without a preservative.
As to the copy-cat lotion sold, if the guy claims he produced it with a lab sonicator then it's obviously BS as 100ml; x 100 purchases is 10 litres.
