Oil Of Oregano as a Preservative?

[coco cooks]

Has anybody used or would recommend Oil of Oregano as a preservative due to its antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. The smell is strong but I'm considering adding it to some stuff I working on?

Sorry not a preservative. It has great anti-oxidant properties, but a preservative must be able to literally hold/preserve the product without any change. Anti-oxidants do not do that nor are they capable of doing that.
