Question
My gel base turned brown after adding grape seed extract. Is there a way to make it clear again?
Answer
The gel base turned brown after adding grape seed extract because natural extracts often have the inherent color of the plant they come from. It is difficult to make the gel clear again once a colored extract has been added.
Possible solutions include:
- Directly contacting the supplier of the grape seed extract you are using to ask for more information about the extract and the possibility of using a decolorized or colorless version.
- In some cases, using antioxidants might help slow down color changes caused by oxidation, but they cannot remove existing color.
Therefore, the best approach is to consult with the supplier from whom you purchased the extract.
