    Does anyone have any suggestions on a good preservative to use on a high Isopropyl Alcohol content gel? Please don’t tell me to do research on this, as I have been doing that for days.  It would be great if it could be paraben free, and water-soluble.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    What % of alcohol are you using?  Over 20% and you probably don’t need an additional preservative.
