True, and hard to preserve properly.
Today I will be making an anhydrous foot balm and disperse allantoin into it. My first time using it in an anhydrous formula!

@Doreen, let me know how it goes

@ngarayeva001
I wanted a whipped, mousse like texture and had to put it in the freezer a couple of times for a short while, so I was afraid what the allantoin would do as it doesn’t seem to like temperature changes much.
Right now (about 5 hours later at room temperature) I still don’t feel/see any shard like crystals, hopefully it will stay that way!It has become a lovely, pink coloured mousse, not grainy or anything.
60% shea butter (refined)
10% aby butter (abysinnian oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil)
0.1% BHT
0.1% propyl paraben
jojoba oil ad 1001% allantoin
1.5% cyclopentasiloxane
0.2% fragrance
Gromwell Root CO2 extract (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (and) Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract) q.s.The extract was for the pink colouration. Gromwell root gives an intense deep red colour, so I only needed a needlepoint, a tiny speck for a light pink colour (it is even dilluted >50% with jojoba oil, and still so very concentrated!)
(It gives intense red when pH is acidic and turns blue when basic, and when there’s no pH like here, it remains intense red.) -

I just answered straight away without remembering this is your post and I’m way off topic. My apologies.I have the idea that Euxyl PE 9010 can have influence on viscosity, I think because of the phenoxyethanol, but I might be mistaken. I’ve had some viscosity issues when using this preservative too. The difference is my viscosity change was quick and yours after 2 years. I agree with Perry, 2 years is a long time!
