Why yellow?

[Dixie]

I made a salt bar yesterday.
I used coconut, olive, castor and shea
I also added some Titanium dioxide, 1 tbs. grapeseed oil

It turned a yucky yellow on me.

Anyone have a clue why? Shea ever turn yellow on you? Mine was white.

Was the olive oil the greenish kind? Some can give you that cast.

I made one awhile ago that went yellow, it is lightening up over time. It isn't white, but I like it.

LJA, it wasn't the light olive oil, but it wasn't real green either. light golden. I sure am disapointed! it's the color of mustard I had a brick red swirl in it, sure can't tell though

Can you post pix, Dixie? Someone will be along to help you better than I can. I haven't made salt bars yet.

The colors in soap change as they cure, don't give up on it yet .I don't think it's ugly , but it is blurry. :wink:
