Hi Ramona! I’m so happy to hear that you are enjoying the books. Thanks for buying the ebooks too!
Because it is completely dried and with no water content left (which is where bacteria/mold would grow), this scrub doesn’t require a preservative. Once moisture is introduced though, it needs to be used right away.
So if you’re not sure it will be carefully handled and stay dry (if you’re giving as a gift or something), then preservative may be a good idea to add.
I would probably try adding some Phytocide Elderberry OS, mixed in with the carrier oil.
It’s oil soluble (so you’re not adding any water to the dry scrub) and as a bonus, it’s good for your skin. :)
