Weird color change

[bookreader451]

I made a test batch of HP soap and I got it in the mold and had an oh “shoot” moment. I had forgotten the FO. So I plopped it back out of the mold added the FO. I cut it last night and when I got up this morning it is turning green.

The soap has honey, apple cider and a small amount of cinnamon powder and I used a combined FO. You can see what color it is without the FO because of the part that was still in the mold. My unintended control group lol.

What would cause green color?

It would help those who use FOs figure it out if you tell them what the combo was. Maybe it's a known one that does color soap.

It was mostly grandma’s kitchen from Rustic Escentials and gingerbread from PJ Trading to make up the difference. I can see discoloring to brown, I expected that, but not green.

The fact that you hp'ed this batch then dumped it back into the crockpot to mix in the fragrance I a guessing the fo was not evenly mixed in. As for the color change, this could be the normal color morphing before it goes brown, and it the fo only mixed in one portion it would change color unevenly.
