Recommendations for Vitamin C for Face

I had a busy day, I will send the information that I promised in about one hour.

Vitamin E is not a preservative, it is an Antioxidant.  Once liquid is introduced to a mixture; it requires a proper preservative. Vitamin E prevents oils from going rancid. If you have a mixture with oils alone, it is fine to use Vitamin E.  Bacteria, yeast are not visible to the naked eye, molds can go undetected at times.

Two hard to preserve ingredients are glycerin and aloe vera.  It is vital to sterilize your work area,  and everything that you use.  I use a bleach solution.  Alcohol is fine to use.  Do not use tap water, use distilled water.  Use alcohol to sanitize any container you use, let it sit for a few minutes for the alcohol to evaporate.  Then store your mixture in the container.  Sticking wet fingers in a product with only oil, will produce bacteria, mold, yeast. 

Liquids should really go thorough a heat and hold process.

Mommykat, you know what you are doing

Purp, no you do not need to refrigerate glycerin.  Keep it in a cupboard, and it will be fine.
