Cassandra Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 11:08 AM   Hi Cassandra, You require quite alot of information that is available in a few books we have for purchase at New Directions. Do It Yourself Pure Plant Skin Care-by Carolyn Stubbin, wil answer all your questions and retails for $34.95. New Directions has a few new and natural preservatives available on the web site. These preservative blends are suggested to be more preserviing that grape seed extract on it's own. I would suggest plantaserve N natural, as it is completely natural and effective. Go into raw materials, then preservatives to view these products. I would recommend using up to 10% of extracts in your blend, when using herbal and fruit additives and approximately 1% or preservative. A discription of the carrier oils and their uses are also listed. Enjoy creating!
