BB's Non-Discoloring Vanilla

[LotusFlowerSoap]

Anyone used it in CP? I ordered some yesterday b/c I was already placing an order. It does say that it's not a true as some other vanillas, but I'm wondering how it will blend. I want to do lavender vanilla, but don't want brown soap or to have to load up on TD to get it to be white. TD is always kind of a crap shoot for me anyway.

I made a batch of soap with lavender and vanilla, vanilla. I made the lavender half, lavender with just that fragrance oil and then the vanilla, vanilla half with that fragrance oil, no color. At first it looked great, the lavender really jumped out with the vanilla, vanilla turning dark brown right after gel. Now, three weeks later, the lavender swirls are turning light brown! What a disappointment, I didn't know the vanilla, vanilla darkening was going to turn the lavender brown like that. still smells good, though.

Thanks for sharing, Bayougirl. I don't think it looks bad at all! What did you use to color the purple part? Or does it just look that way in the pics? It's nice soap!
