I’m really impatient and couldn’t stand not knowing which FO was terrible in my CP soap - so I made another test batch.
I also tested a coconut mango FO that is a known separator. That FO did instantly turn the batter liquid (from a medium trace emulsion) when I added the FO, but I could stir it back together again to emulsion pretty easily. I don’t know what that would have looked like with a stick blender in a larger container instead of a small mold and and spatula.
Alas the mango-y scent was destroyed. We’ll see if it comes back.
This time around I pre-colored with mica too to see if that could mask the discoloration- so it’s more difficult to tell 10 hours later which will be the turns dark brown soap.
