Ok Soapbuddy- I saw your post on preservatives. Awfully scientific sounding. I am looking for a easy to find (local) preservative for sugar body scrub. Or do I have to order online? Do you have any guidelines for how much to add? (depending on product, I am sure)

Since most sugar scrubs have no water, you need a preservative that's oil soluble.

Optiphen: must be added below 140 degrees. Use levels are 0.5 - 1.5%.
INCI: Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol

Phenonip: only oil soluble. Use levels are 0.5%-1.0%.
INCI: Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben.
