    Thanks for a very informativ podcast. Question: you didn't add any preservatives to the cream with OlivOIl avenate . May I ask why?

      If I am going to use myself within a couple of weeks, then i won't add a preservative. However if putting into a pot to keep for a while i personally like to add either leucidal 4% or grapefruit seed extract 2%

      Thanks, its nice to get feedback. For a preservative for a feminine wash, I would use leucidal max or grapefruit seed extract

    couldnt u use colloidal silver water instead of distilled when making lotions??? its anti viral and biotic.

    • @janbenham
      @janbenham  Před 2 měsíci

      i haven't had good results with colloidal silver water. It might extend the life of the lotion or cream for a couple of weeks which doesn't work if selling. However for personal use you can always try and see if it works for you!

      We carry dicapryl carbonate and we are located in the Netherlands aromashoppe.com/product/dicaprylyl-carbonate/

    • @janbenham
      @janbenham  Před měsícem

      Dicapryl carbonate is non oily which what makes it so special in a cream or lotion. However some substitutes would fractionated coconut oil or jojoba which are the least oily of carrier oils!
