If I added glycerin to this spray would it work to emulsify the ingredients?
How long would this be “shelf stable”? Would it be okay in the dark cupboard just during the summer? As A mother of a family of very sensitive skinned, strong Irish-German descent, this sounds awesome!
Glad it would be helpful to you and family; there is no expiration date for this recipe.
what about the aloe vera? doesn’t that have water in it and need a preservative?
Our Aloe Vera does not have any water in it.
I have one I use that keep in my refrigerator.
Check the expiration date of you oils and you’ll be all set. 😉
