To be perfectly honest, I am not sure that anything more than an antioxidant is necessary to extend shelf life, but it has been so long, I may have meant to write 'preserve her shea butter products' -- it's been a while (this post is from 2014) so I am simply unsure of how to answer you. Perhaps Jonna will see this and post a comment to clarify.

She explains her uses of caprylic acid or citric acid. I'm wondering how caprylic acid is capable of preserving, and if so, which kind of caprylic acid would be appropriate.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372748222311938544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-56123991855125882232021-11-03T17:20:16.364+01:002021-11-03T17:20:16.364+01:00HI Wanda- If the balm is anhydrous (no water conte...HI Wanda- If the balm is anhydrous (no water content), there is no need of a preservative. Or are you making a cleansing balm where it risks getting some content of water in it during use?LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-30518120261485330552021-11-01T17:45:55.855+01:002021-11-01T17:45:55.855+01:00Hi Lisa,

I only find this synthetic and/or as a palm derivative... Do you think I could also use MCT oil C8? And how much would be needed?

On the other hand, one never knows unless one tries— maybe a small test batch would be worth trying?
