In general, one drop of Optiphen PLUS should be enough to preserve about 4 ounces of liquid. **Q: Does “natural preservative” mean that the ingredients for the product are naturally sourced?** A: yes **Q: How much of this does one use? What about a 4-TB recipe?** A: I use about 1 tsp for a lotion recipe with distilled water that makes about 2 cups. I also use 1 TBS of vitamin E oil which is also a preservative. As a precaution, I just store the extra in the refrigerator. That is all that I have used it for. **Q: Is this preservative only used for water base solutions? Or can i use it to make aloe vera gel no water** A: I have never used just with Aloe Vera Gel personally, but I would imagine it would be okay since Aloe is water based. I have used with flax seed gel and sea moss gel with success. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended! *by S***A on 14 February 2025* The delivery was on time, the package was neat, the product was like described ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by C***N on 14 July 2021* Used a few times.
