I find that soap doesn't need a perservative. I normally use oils with very long shelf life. I've never had a bar of soap "go rancid" on me. It has something to do with the lye process. Once you have made your own soap, there is no going back to that detergent stuff found in the supermarket. In my opinion, putting a perservative in soap is a waste of money, however Grapefruit Seed Extract is also a good perservative for lotions.

It might be good for the oils too, but I'm not sure. Since oils are used in soaps ??? pj __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
