    Hi, your product is contaminated by the G- bacteria Serratia marcescens.

    ‼️So you have contamination in your: laboratory or on your utensils / lab equip or in your products - or in all three.

    Very common in bathrooms, you’ll see it in fatty soap, or on grout or bathroom shower tiles, for example.

    It is pretty pink to melon-orange pinkish.

    Very pesky to eliminate.

    S. marcesens is also considered a hospital acquired infection. [HIA]

    So you absolutely must ensure you entirely eliminate this bacterial contamination. Like completely.

    You really need to be diligent to see WHERE this is sourcing from, and to ensure you entirely eliminate it before you commence any further formulating.

    But I am 100% positive – this is Serratia marcescens bacterial contamination.
