    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%

    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!

    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!
