Oil based I don't worry about. It is the oil/water ones that I am worried 
about. The recipes I read online all have heavy preservatives in them. I am 
going to try subbing some cs for part of the water.
Thanks.

  If it's an oil-base lotion, that can be a problem.
  The silver puppy site has a gel-making kit that I've used for making cremes, 
etc.

  Thank you Lena. I am thinking of substituting CS for the water in a lotion I 
make. I will try and see how it works.

    Hi Gayla,
    I use CS in all of my potions and lotions for that reason. Also, I make 
nasal mists, eye drops, etc with it, knowing that it will not contaminate 
easily and that it's cheap enough to replace once a month.
    After deciding not to get some expensive plastic 'silver-impregnated' 
storage boxes, I rinse berries, produce, etc. with CS, which prolongues shelf 
life in the fridge. Anything I put in a plastic bag for refrigerating , I mist 
in a bit of CS, with the same result.
    BTW, I sprayed CS on the outside of some terracotta flower pots that were 
beginning to get the usual mold and they've stayed clear ever since. Love this 
stuff!


    Be well,
    Léna

    Has anyone used CS for a preservative in lotions or creams? I dislike the 
thought of using chemical preservative on my skin. TIA!
