Does Hello Spring Mica From NS Morph after Saponification?

Jersey Girl · Jun 4, 2020

Please tell me it does, because I just made a confetti soap and when I added the colorant to the oils it looked good, but then when I added The lye it turned a nasty newborn baby poop greenish brownish yellow. I had also added a lilac fo from NG to the oils as I expected it to accelerate and just wanted to get the confetti stirred in quickly after I added the lye. This will be one ugly soap if it doesn’t morph back to the pretty green I expected. Oh...I also used aloe juice as water, but I’ve been doing that for a while now with no bad effects.

I've not used that particular color from NS. However, the Lilac from NG does discolor if you haven't used it before.

Bummer...yup, my first time using it. I guess I’ll see tomorrow what color I get. It’s such a nice clear color coming out of the bottle. Pesky FOs...lol

I was going to say you need to give it time. Sometimes colors may get a little funky in your soaps but then turn out to be alright.
