Do you put preservatives in your soap or is that not needed? What kinds of preservatives do you use for other things like lotions, sugar scrubs, body butters, etc? If you are making liquid soap do you add preservatives to that?
I've heard of:
Lecithin
Vitamin E
Grapefruit seed extract
being used as natural preservatives. Would you recommend just using one of those or do you think a more synthetic preservative holds up better? I'm looking at using vitamin e or the lecithin since I can get them from company I was already going to be purchasing from anyway, instead of finding a whole new supplier for just buying preservatives.
I'm not sure what to get and I was hoping some of you could share your experience with these or other preservatives. They don't have to be natural, but I'd like to get one that's paraben free to suit everyone in my family who mind that.

so I'm not sure why I've always heard you don't need to add it to the soap.
