If you are...Hi Chua Lin- I understand your concern. If you are adding your glycerite to a leave on product (cream, tonic etc) then you might want to err on the side of caution and keep the percentage very low. If you are using it in a rinse-off you can be more generous with the amount. That said, a glycerite is a milder extraction and does not have the same concentrated strength as an essential oil.LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-4278703048170326562018-09-19T08:26:10.457+02:002018-09-19T08:26:10.457+02:00Hello Lisa, lemon sounds lovely and refreshing to ...Hello Lisa, lemon sounds lovely and refreshing to include in skincare products.

Fresh food glycerites do indeed the addition of preservative, although I agree, the acidity of this one - along with the glycerine percentage might suggest it wasn't necessary. I've had a few glycerites go wonky - it comes down to percentage of glycerine to what you have added to it. If you want to try preservative free, give it a shot, but be sure and monitor the mixture carefully and don't add it to anything you give to anyone else until you are sure you have a stable preparation.

I'm now in search of an Ecocert preservative for a 2.5 pH, which is what I ended up with for this product. Hard to imagine it needs a preservative, but, I don't know very much.
