Hi, if you give relative percentages is will be easier for people to see potential issues. What’s the final pH of your product?

Percentages:

Phase A
Decyl Glucoside 1.5%
Basil Oil 0.15%

Phase B
Water 95.05%
Common Salt 2.5%
Glycerine 0.3%
Citric Acid 0.3%
EDTA 0.1%
Potassium Sorbate 0.1%

Final pH is around 5.

I am also making a concentrated fruit and vegetable using decyl glucoside. I have to add it very slowly under mixing or it will gel up and settle at the bottom.

Why are you using glycerin in a food and veggie wash?

Okay will try stirring while adding decyl Glucoside.
I have added glycerine so that it’s soft on hands.
