Pure coconut oil. Scented with nature's garden Tonka&Tobacco. Half contains ZCS the other half does not. Soaped at 100° and it was to hot
It should come out brown and white. But, I'm just not seeing it
Forgot the sodium gluconate

@justsomeguy mine took a few days and slowly turned brown over a few weeks. 
Hopefully the same happens for you!

I cut the coconut soap. No yellow. A little brown and a whole lotta white
Then I cut the ZNSC. It didn't fully gel. It's still green

Anyone know the odds that it'll fade away in 6 weeks and the fragrance oil returns?
Love the white… looks gorgeous!
The green looks like it's trying to turn purple in the gel'd bit anyway
