I use a "nature identical" EO blend which I get from my local South African supplier. Smells exactly like a really good Vanilla extract.
I use this in my Whipped Soap and the resulting colour is a very pale Beige.
Delicious soap.

Hey there - this is great news - would you mind sharing who in South Africa supplies you with it? I bought a Vanilla from Fun With Soap and from the Soap Barn, and both didnt really discolour my soap, but I had to literally throw in the whole bottle to get the strength of scent that I wanted. I like the idea of EO blend as opposed to FO though. Hope you dont mind sharing - would be grateful if you did, I have been dying to meet other South Africans on here!

Thanks, Ishbel (i'm doing my mr. bean impersonation right now, wish you could hear it )

I'm going to be soaping the "sleep time" EO blend from WSP this weekend, and it's a combo of lavender and vanilla (not too strong of vanilla). can anyone who has soaped this kind of give me a heads up of what this will discolor to? would it be wasting my newly acquired lavender buds in a batch?

The supplier is in Benoni. Escentia Products. (011) 425 3281

Just ask for the Vanilla EO. There will be no turning back though. It smells good enough to eat

so when you use vanilla essential oil ~ do you have these same problems? I don't mind the brown coloring, but brown lather or seizing? Has anyone used ground vanilla beans?
