A cream with vioform and zinkundecylinate discolours yellow. Can the discoloration be avoided?

Without zinkundecylinate, the cream is light brown.

The incompatibility between zinc ions and vioform is known. In the case of ZnO, it is replaced by TiO2. But a titaanundecylinate does not exist. So possibly zinkundecylinate replaced by Miconazole nitrate, with the doctor's agreement?
