I ended up having to ditch it. Not because of the discolouration, but because the scent made me feel quite unwell, oddly.

Oh yes. I have learnt that too and have a couple of sample size bottles of mystery fragrance.

I may have gone a bit OTT and ordered some fragrance oils from America (I’m in England). And can I just say, oh em gee! Look at all the information on the bottle! This is so handy, and means I don’t have to write and tape on my own little notes. IT EVEN WARNS ME ABOUT ACCELERATION. I can’t tell...

I haven’t but I will. Thank you.

I was glad to find this when I searched for posts about the mold. I haven’t been able to get anything out undamaged and was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong. It’s a shame, I like it a lot.

I haven’t tried them, thank you for the recommendation, it looks very promising :)

For what it’s worth, I tried this soap this evening at a little over three weeks cure and surprisingly it didn’t make me gag. Okay I did gag a little, but that’s because my nostrils haven’t worked past the muscle memory of my initial experience. I didn’t add fragrance as I’m testing recipes for...

I’m in the UK too and haven’t as yet found anything like that so I’ll be watching this thread with interest. The lack of what feels like basic info is very frustrating, and finding out something accelerates only once you have soap on a stick is infuriating.

Well done for seeking a resolution. It can’t have been easy at all.

I decided to make some sample blocks of colours as a little project for myself. I’ve been making these cubes which are about 3 inch squared. Which I then cut into three bars. And then I take one of those and chop it down into 3/4 inch little logs of each colour. I have been pouring the...

Ah okay, that would make sense. I’ll watch and see what happens, thank you.

Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy your new skill, it’s incredibly rewarding I think.

Ah okay. I figured that would discolour throughput rather than be patchy. I have broadly avoided anything that I can obviously identify as having vanillin for I am a chicken.

They provide a service to the public and should take their safeguarding responsibilities seriously. This is a problem that could’ve been solved before it happened, by closing the immediate area to allow the workmen to do what they needed to, without making customers feel uncomfortable, awkward...

Nope. Just in their generic description of fragrances that it’s suitable for soap making. But that description also warns that some fragrances may discolour and to test in small batches. Not very helpful I know.

There’s only one review which unhelpfully just says “stunning fragrance”, and for the record it stinks. I’m in the UK and I don’t think the suppliers I’ve found here have the same number of reviews.

Hello! I used a fragrance oil called white musk in this soap. Everything seemed fine, no acceleration that I could tell, nice steady pour with no ricing etc, but after a short time in the mold (which is see through) I noticed a sort of brown tint. After cutting it seems the mottled brown is...

That’s a thought. Will try emailing in future as there’s always a chance they just forgot to upload a particular one.

You’re a genius, that’s what you are. Thank you! I just took delivery of some essential oils and all my willpower is now being used not to cancel on the friend I’m meeting in 15 minutes so I can stay home and stick toothpicks in jars. I’ll leave this one for when I get home 😀

I reckon that’ll be a handy site for me in the future, thank you. I’m still a little bit too excited to trust myself with annything below 3%, and busy learning what I like together, and I don’t trust myself not to inadvertently throw it in at unacceptable levels. One day maybe 🙂
