I remember when there was a guy on here that made a recipe that that you could add some of it to your soap and it would stop the soaps from turning yellow-orange. It was a vanilla stabilizer if I remember correctly. I have the recipe written down somewhere, do any of the older soapers use it and how does it work?

If you're talking about ZCS, there's a thread here

I've used it successfully to slow the vanillin brown

Edit: I really hate my typist

If you find it would you mind sending it to me

Exposure to air will slowly turn it brown as well

This is what it looks like at the moment

In the next couple days the sides will likely match the “rind”. I just made a soap with dark roast coffee FO from Brambleberry. I colored about 70% of the batter with cocoa powder and put all of my FO in that 70%. The other 30% is uncolored and unscented. The first picture is from the day it was cut, the second picture is a couple days later.

Love that darker color with the lighter swirl!
