Simplicity Soaps

What type of preservative have you sucessfully used in a lotion formula with beeswax/borax (no ewax)? The ph of the borax caused a problem for the emulsion when I added Cosmicil CQ. Any suggestions?

I tried making the snowdrift farm recipe. Although I really liked the consitency I would say it was too temperature sensisitive. On a 72 degree day it became extremely soft and almost lost its whipped texture. I would try decreasing the liquid oils. You don't need to use the exact same liquid oils, a subsititute should be fine.

The salt scrubs I have tried really hurt. I tend to get a bit of eczema on my legs in the winter and it feels like rubbing salt into a wound.
