Although you don't use preservatives, I'm considering adding an essential oil with antibacterial/antimicrobial/antiviral properties since I regularly keep these on hand for all my cleaning. Do you know how much would be needed to be an effective preservative?

I really want to make my own body wash/hand soap and the only thing holding me back is the lack of preservatives and the risk of bacteria. Even after reading this, I am skeptical that preservatives aren't necessary and that it will keep for 30 days.
