What is a natural preservative for bath bombs and other beauty products?
November 23rd, 2009 | 
Author: I’m going to be making bath bombs and other bath and beauty products, Im trying to make them all natural, but need to have a preservative of some sort in the mix. Hellllp. Thanks! 
Citric Acid
Kaolin Clay
Grapeseed Oil
Jojoba Oil
Baking Soda
simple colorants and scents.
That is for the bombs…lips contain the same things more or less plus lanolin, coconut oil and sunflower oil, and beeswax.
Not vegan by any means.. but Im trying to stay major chemical free.
peppermint oil — although some people especially those who are fair can be allergic to this.
Please be aware that the FDA regulates homemade bath products. I found one good reference about that. I have a friend who wanted to make such products, but gave up due to these regulations. I know another lady who has a growing business – look up Chae Organics, but has had quite a few struggles as well.
Natural is not the same as non-toxic or safe. What are the ingredients and do you mean preserve against biologic decay or chemical decomposition?
