Answer
Why Does Tranexamic Acid Change Color Over Time?
Tranexamic Acid can sometimes undergo discoloration, often turning yellowish, when incorporated into cream formulations over the long term. This change is typically due to oxidation or other stability issues within the formula.
To help prevent this long-term discoloration, it is recommended to include an antioxidant in the formulation. Products like ActiveProtec™ OX are specifically designed to help stabilize active ingredients and prevent such color changes.
