@Gunther Perheps he means to wash dishes by hand, not in the dishwasher?

Thanks for chiming in. I guess I should have worded that a little differently. It’s not that I can’t find it anywhere, it’s that I can’t find it in small quantities. 

I think the aspen bark and gdl are adding skin benefits, so I would like to keep them in the formulation.

MarkBroussard, would you explain why you think they are “junk” preservatives? In your experience do they not protect a product, or are they just difficult to work with?

I will look into both suggestions, thank you.
