    How can i stop the formation of molds and discoloration on my water based edge tamer pomade, the products forms molds and gets discolored with time, i included a preservative(Methylisothiazolinone Benzisothiazolinone) 0.1% concentration. the basic ingredients in the formulation are.
    Water
    Ceteareth-25
    Tegosoft cg
    lipocol HCO40
    Olive oil
    fixative
    fragrance
    propylene glycol
    preservative.

    More so, could the olive oil be the cause of the mold formation and discoloration or is there anything omited in the formula?

    Thanks in anticipation for your technical assistance.

    @NWOKOLOG yes it will be better to eliminate olive oil for color and fixation.
