"I see that this contains a preservative. At what rate can I use in CP or MP soap without adding extra preservatives? "

Staff Answer You do not need to add any additional preservatives in CP soap. Our MP soap can take up to 5% additive, but we recommend only using a very small amount (0.5-1%) of this since it is water and can affect the hardness and lather of soap.
