Are there any Vanilla scents from Gelluminations that don't discolor? I would like to try out Vanilla Bean, Vanilla Cupcake, and Warm Vanilla Sugar :D
I tried Vanilla Creamy an it tuned a VERY dark brown:(
Thanks~
 
Really, anything with vanillin in it will discolor. You could use a vanilla stabilizer; but I don't have any experience using that.
 
Not from there that I know of, and I don't use their FOs after ordering some and just not being happy with them.
Soapsupplies.net has a nice non-discoloring vanilla. I've used it mainly in blends, so I can't comment on the scent after soaping on it's own. OOB it's nice. My latest CP batch with it is 75% vanilla and then coconut and pikaki flower. Still a creamy offwhite color and it's been curing for 3-4wks, no discoloring at all.
I've been eyeballing the non-discoloring vanilla from Brambleberry also, they're close to me and shipping/customer service is outstanding. I need to soap some more before I realistically *need* any more FOs though, LOL!!

ETA: here's a pic of it, it's the offwhite soap in the back. :) It's a little more ivory IRL, the photo is a bit washed out. But definitely not brown or even tan in any way at all...
