Will vanilla bean specks discolour cp process soap?

[PrairieGirl]

Hello! I know vanilla oil and fragrances will cause brown discolouration in soap but will the vanilla bean flecks discolour also? I want to use them as an exfoliant in a white cp soap.

Thanks!

Do you mean vanilla pod seeds? No they stay brown but don't bleed. They are scratchy but not really an exfoliant as they are so small or maybe because I didn't put much in. They don't retain the scent.

I use them in a portion of one of my favorite soaps. They don't discolor but they also don't exfoliate much, at least that I notice. I don't feel them at all when using. I just like how it looks.
