Hello everyone,

I have an issues. I have infused (Lavender, chamomile, fenugreek, hibiscus, black tea, safflower oil, avocado oil, and olive oil) in a glass bottle (new container. Cleaned. Dried in high heat. Sanitized with alcohol solution 99% proof) on 5/21/2020. It was placed in a dark dry place the whole time. Today when I checked it the color changed to a soapy consistency. It had turned into soap. All of the greasiness is gone. When placed underwater it rinses like a mild soap. I am confused. It was infuse to create pomade. Did I do something wrong?
 
Did you add any antioxidant? More than 4 years sounds like a really long time for those oils when not refrigerated or freezed - way past their shelf life
