  You would get more helpful answers if you listed the ingredients in your formula.

  I’ve used a similar formulation, and preserved it successfully with 0.9% phenoxy, 0.1% ethylhexylglycerin and 0.05% bronopol

  DMDM Hydantoin would work well. 
  Or a blend of “Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea”
