QuestionHow long can I store this?Community AnswerYou can basically store this as long as you can store the individual ingredients, unless you use lemon juice as that increases the liquid content and can reduce the time you can store it. It's always advisable to refrigerate any handmade liquid or semi-liquid cosmetics that don't have an added preservative. An even better alternative is to only make what you need when you need it so you don't have to store it.
