    @”Dr Catherine Pratt” 
    I have separated some of this batch and it doesn’t produce any color and any change. The rest of the batch in this tank also doesn’t produce any color change. The only part that produces red color is these two fittings which are made of iron as shown in picture and i know these parts produce iron oxide very fast. 
    My concern isn’t about color, whatever color it is, it is fine for me. My concern is about contamination or being harmful to consumers.

    I have used sweet orange essential oil %0.25

    With that appropriate concern, there is no way this product should be distributed to consumers - even with compliant labeling
     21 CFR 740.10

    A cosmetic is considered misbranded if its safety has not adequately been substantiated, and it does not bear the following conspicuous statement on the PDP:

    Warning - The safety of this product has not been determined.
