Hi @Sibech! Yes, that’s the only way. I wonder if it’s just the color not stable, which have a light fastness of 4 (that’s medium from this chart I have). 

It takes about 30-90 day to take notice. From left to right days in julien are:

039 - 134 - 166

I certainly don’t want to waste time. I’m looking for different scenarios as to why this is occurring and I’m not convinced the preservative is the culprit. Thanks anyways for the input, I will definitely test this theory out @Belassi and see how we can improve our products.

Well that’s encouraging, but I appreciate the feedback. It’s the customers formulation and they wanted to use that when we duplicated their reference. Any other suggestions on why that color is darkening since we’re also seeing that in different (but similar) formulations.

What does that mean, @Belassi ? Just so you know… the other formulation we use doesn’t use Benzyl Alcohol / Dehydroacetic Acid, it has DMDM in there.

Sucrose, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Polyacrylamide and C13-14 Isoparaffin and Laureth-7, Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Fragrance, FD&C Blue 1, FD&C Red 33

Although, a slightly different formula with no PG has been use prior with the same issue.
