Hii! That’s great to know. I was worried if I made a higher oleic bar to sell and I said it was ok for the face, I would be completely wrong 🙈 lol thank youu!

I know I’m asking a different question now but...
Hi all,
so I have been reading and reading about preservatives. I was planning to keep anything like that out of my products when I come sell them but now I feel I could be doing more harm than good by doing so.
I have come across that Benzyl alcohol and Dehydroacetic acid are considered fine...
Thank you for all your amazing knowledge :) this forum has been such a help since trying to self teach!
