1% lemongrass essential oil
French green clay ( colouring )

I would guess it is the neem seed oil. Your recipe doesn't seem to include any other ingredients that would turn the soap brown.
 
Thats about the color of my neem soap but it was brownish from the beginning.


No it's very pale greenish because of green clay but after 3 months seems turn into pale brownish then after another 3 months totally darker brown.
