hello i am going to make some goats milk lotion.

i have a recipe of 36oz water 36oz milk 16 oz oil then a few other additives like vit. E and steric acid. i have heard you can use grain alcohol as a perservative. i saw some say a high rate of alcohol like 96%. but no one says how much to use. like a tes per 10 oz of finished product or 1 oz per 16 oz of finished product. i have know idea how much to use. can anyone help me with that?

Answer:

I'm afraid I'm not that knowledgable on lotion making but I will post your question in case someone has an answer for you.
