Doesn't irritate my skin
It seems like this stuff is hard to find and this seems to be the best price. It comes in a clear plastic bottle, not the blue glass in the pic though. I went by the directions of adding 1% (of the total product I'm making ie. if I were making 100 oz of something, I'd add 1 oz of this) and I haven't had any problems with it. I'm no expert, I just have super sensitive skin with allergies to several chemicals used in commercial skin care and cosmetics. So I started making more natural moisturizers, scrubs, etc. I also make them for my family and friends. Obviously, I need them to be safe and last a little while. I've tried several other preservatives, but most all irritate my skin, even when using less that recommended. Liquapar seems to be the best on my skin, no irritation yet!
