Staff Answer This is not an oil-soluble product, so without a solubilizer this will separate. You would be better off using Aloe Vera Oil - Golden or Aloe Vera Oil - Clear.

"Can this be used in body butters? Will I have to use a preservative to prevent it from becoming moldy?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer You would need to test to see if it will stay blended with your body butter. If adding a small amount of the extract, it should blend with no issue. If adding a large amount of the extract, you will need to use polysorbate 80 to get it to incorporate. We do recommend adding a preservative if you think your body butter will be used after a shower and possibly have water contamination.
