Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 MM Everyone, Can anyone tell me a good herbal perservative I can add to my face toner and creams so they won't have to stay in the frig. and I can keep on my shelf. It is getting a little cold to put on my face. But my skin is so dry I need my herbs, and I didn't know what I could add that wouldn't hurt my face. I am even starting to sag a little around the mouth, so if anyone has a good herb for that, I would appreciate the info.

If its just for you, and not for sale, and you make small batches at a time, grapefruit seed extract does work (but NOT for commercial sale products!!!). Also if you are adding Essential Oils to your creams they can have a limited amount of an anti-bacterial preservative nature to them. I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but I'll add it anyway .. never use fingers to scoop the cream out of the container .. always use a clean spoon or spatula, and even if not in the fridge, keep it in a cool place. >It is getting a little cold to put on my face. > Ooh, I hear you about the cold - cold cream >But >my skin is so dry I need my herbs, and I didn't know what I could add >that wouldn't hurt my face.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 My 2¢ worth, which isn't worth even THAT! Jojoba helps, as does Vitamin E.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hi nighengale, I don't know if this will help or not, but I make all our perfumes/colognes and such and what I use if jojoba oil - the stuf lasts forever or so it seems.. maybe a little of that? Since it's actually a liquid wax, maybe that'll do the trick? just a thought........

I'm partial to the Turkish variety myself Nightengale, I'll have to second that on the Rose Otto and Rosa damascena hydrosol in creams , and the partiallity to the Turkish variety too! I made a great cream using the Rose hydrosol as the water element, with Rose Otto, Rosewood, and Tea Tree for myself and some of my friends that have psoriasis and eczema and it has helped greatly, especially with the itching. I will never uses just plain water again in any of my creams. Deonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Know that feeling 21 years ago. I never thought I would ever have my daughter. In fact my husband and I were rushing to the hospital about the 3 time and a police car hit us. Then the contractions stopped. You would have thought I would have had her that night. She was stubbborn then and still is now. luck and love Nightengale --- Kathleen Petrides <petrides5 wrote: > Sorry, it wasn't herbal was it? > > >YAWN< Never mind.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hi Chris, as always you help is great! I am giving some to my friends, so what is the commerical use perservative. I don't want to do anything that would hurt them. They are my testers. So maybe after my daughter wedding and my son senior year (the cost is unbearable) I may dab into commerical. I see myself in a little shop filled with fresh herbs, my bottled mixtures, something like Practical Magic movie. And where I can be happy the rest of my life. No more insults at work, being unhappy, and worried about the kids. They will then have there own health ins. and I can get on my husband's. His isn't that good, but ok for me and him. Well that's my dream, maybe one day!!?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Nightingale Our list mom has the best(imo) rose otto at a great price on her website... www.alittleolfactory.com When I make creams I use aloe, distilled water and rose hydrosol as the liquid and infused calendula, shea butter, jojoba and calophyllum for the oil. I also add eo's according to the type of skin Im making it for. I do not use a preservative and keep it in the fridge. I have never had a problem with rancidity, etc...jojoba has a 100 year shelf life and I believe this helps keep it stable.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Sorry it took me so long to get back to this one .... unfortunately when making any kind of commercial product like creams and lotions you have to use a preservative like Germaban II .. it is synthetic .... but an FDA " proven safe " synthetic preservative in a commercial product is a lot safer for you and your customer (who chances are will NOT follow all guidelines to keep the product as germ free as possible as long as possible) than an unapproved, " not proven safe " natural preservative that may work, or work only but for a short time or not even work at all.
