Preparing for grenades/torpedos once I list my formula, but I am curious as to why the color has gone from a light/medium peachy beige (which I’m fine with) to almost medium tan in two weeks. I would have thought the sodium phytate would be enough to prevent this, but I thought wrong.
. Thank you.
almond oil 6.00% behenyl alcohol 0.28% lecithin 1.38% brewed green tea 78.50% bakuchiol 1.10% ethanol 3.30% niacinamide 4.40% green tea extract 1.10% glycerin 2.20% preservative 1.10% sodium phytate 0.22% xanthan gum 0.44% What is the preservative you are using?

Had a couple trials with lidocaine HCl and the cream developed minute grains. Typical non-ionic emulsifiers used with xanthan. pH~7.
Thank you
