Maybe I should be more specific. I want to make solid syndet shampoo. Does it even need a preservative?
 
I choose to use one as it comes in contact with water in the shower. I use optiphen in mine.
 
Thanks Amanda! I placed an order yesterday and went with Liquipar, but I'll keep Optiphen in mind if I don't like the other. I love the one you sent in the swap so much that I have to learn to do this. :D

Ditto this! :D I've been scouring the internet trying to find a single place where I can order all the ingredients necessary. That in itself is a major feat!
 
I'll post the recipe tonite in case anyone wants it.

I order everything between the herbarie and ingredients to die for. (i think ;) )

But yes, hard to find everything at one place. If the herbarie sold slsa then you could get everything there.

Ahhh, I forgot to post it! I'll do it tonight. lol
 
It epends what you want in a preservative, but I go with Phenonip. You can use it at higher temps.

From Point of Interest Blog:
If you want to use it in a surfactant mix - say, a shampoo bar or body wash - then add it to the heated surfactant phase.

So Amanda, did you post that recipe?
 
I am curious to see this recipe. If posted please let me know where to look.
