Badger uses natural ingredients, and because of this, variations in color from one batch to another can be expected. Factors such as the amount of sunshine and rain in a given year or fluctuations in temperature can all subtly affect natural ingredients. One season's pressing of organic extra virgin olive oil may be greener in color than the season prior, or you may experience a stronger or more subtle scent with an essential oil. All of this is normal and expected when working with natural ingredients and Mother Nature.
