Fragrance discoloration.....

[Ford]

Hi everybody. Thought I would post this picture. Show's a good example of fragrance discoloration. Made the bar on the left. Last Monday. On the right, last September.
In this case, the discoloration adds to the look. This is "Barber shop 1920". Hope this helps.

I like the look of the bar that has discolored.

That is a NICE looking soap. Thanks for sharing a real world example.

I like the way the discoloring FO amped up the red. I will remember that trick!

Very nice-looking soap there, @Ford!

Nice looking soap. I use a little ZVCS in mine because I do Red, White and Blue and want the colors to stay true. But a lot of times I 'embrace the brown'.

Thanks for the replies. It was dmcgee5034s beautiful blue morph to green soap. Got me thinking about posting. Maybe they have a before and after they could post. I,d like to see more examples.

Hi @Ford - so sorry I didn’t see this when you posted, I just randomly came across it searching for info on discoloration because I made soap yesterday and just saw now (will I ever learn this lesson? ) that it’s likely going to discolor. I have a before pic of the top, and I’ll take pics of it after the cut and post those, then if it’s not already morphed, I’ll put it on watch alert .
For both batches that used blue micas/pigments and turned green, I only have after the cuts and those FOs discolored fast! On the picture done right after the cut, I can barely make out hints of blue only on the top.

Hi, loved your soap. Yes, morphs happen. Sometimes they can work, but as you've witnessed. Sometimes not. I've been lucky so far.

I was very disappointed when my pale blue soap turned almost black recently, even though no discoloration was reported in the reviews (Fragrance Buddy). From now on I will be buying my FO's at Natures Garden. They show a sample of the of actual soap and report on discoloration up front. I don't have to scour the reviews for hints. I still read the reviews of course.
