How much would you use for an 8oz bottle?

I only do 1% of the total volume I'm using

Why is the internet's description different from this one. Is this a truly Paraben Free?

I'm not sure what description you're looking at online, so I can't answer that but, there are different types of Optiphen; there's Optiphen, Optiphen ND, and Optiphen Plus. They are all paraben free.

Does this produit preserve lotion. For a yeas

I do not know how long it will preserve as we only tried it with lotion and used it before the product was six months old. It did a nice job during the time we had it out.

Can this be used for foaming hand soap?

Hi Chantel, I have not used this in foaming hand soaps, but I have used it in a foaming face wash. Therefore, I would say yes you can use it. Optiphen can be used in a large variety of products as a preservative.
