Staff Answer Tapioca starch helps to take away the greasy feel of the lotion. The preservative in this lotion is enough for the ingredients in that lotion. As long as you stay under the 5% additives it should be fine. The white tea extract also has a preservative included. You alone would need to test your product to be sure it performs properly. To be on the safe side, you can add an additional preservative such as Optiphen or Optiphen Plus.

Staff Answer Yes, this lotion is paraben free.

Staff Answer No, this product is not all natural.

Staff Answer Hi Jill - Yes, the fragrance can be left out. We haven't tested other fragrances in this recipe, but any fragrance should work. If you use an essential oil, you may want to cut the amount used, as essential oils are stronger. I personally like Yuzu FO and Oatmeal n' Honey FO.

Staff Answer The lotion base used in this recipe contains enough preservative to accommodate up to 5% additives. Therefore no additional preservative is required. The shelf life of this recipes is 1 year after manufacture.

Staff Answer This recipe has been formulated and tested using the tapioca starch however, arrowroot may be a good substitution. We recommend testing your product with any substitution in small batches.
