NancyJo Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I am starting to dabble in making non-water lotions, using recipes with aloe vera juice instead of waterThe aloe juice I got is from Sam's Club and has a preservative in it so do I need to add an additional preservative or is what is in the juice sufficient?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well, once you add anything to it, you're effectively diluting it, which will most probably affect the preservative. I'd top up just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSoaps Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Actually, if anything, the Aloe Vera Juice will be HARDER to preserve than using just water in a lotion. Whenever I make a lotion that has anything other than water as the, well, water portion, I always use the highest recommended percentage of the preservative I'm using.
