I store my scrub in a jar and I use it with my wet hands when I am in the bath so I thought maybe I should include a preservative. Hope that makes sense.

I really appreciate your feedback. I will definitely cut the oil and butters to very minimal and add polyquaternium-7 in my next version of my leave in conditioner.
Everyone has been so helpful, i honestly feel so grateful to you all.

My hair actually does feel little oily with my conditioner, i will definitely try to reduce the oils and butter usage to 1% ~ 2% in my next version of my leave in conditioner and also add Centrimonium chloride 0.25%
I have been trying to stay away from silicones but i will research about types of esters that can help with lubricity.
I was wrong to think adding aloe vera and glycerin would help me retain moisture. Thank you for enlightening me about this.
