Hi Ladies,
I would like to get recommendations on preservatives I can use for 2 homemade hair products:
1. A whipped butter. This will consist of oils an shea butter only... no water involved. I am a bit concerned that water will get into the butter when Im applying it (wet hands or dripping hair etc) and that it would grow mold and bacteria.
2. A spritz made of distilled water, aloe thix and glycerine.
Im not sure if i can use the same preservative for both... I dont want to use essential oils or extracts because I've done a bit of reading and some say that they are not preservatives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
