We experienced a moderate amount of acceleration and slight separation. This fragrance was a little tricky to work with, once we added the lye water to the fragranced oils it was easy to see the water separating from the oils. We made a few quick pulses with the stick blender and found large chunks of soap batter forming while a lot of free oil remained. It appeared to resemble dumpling soup! We hand-stirred with the stick blender until we saw that the batter started to smooth out and the separation of oils was slowly stopping. We made two more quick pulses with the stick blender to ensure we had a good trace and the separation had stopped. We reached a nice thick trace but it still appeared lumpy. We slowly hand-stirred and found the batter started to smooth out. The soap poured easily into the mold and didn’t stiffen while we scraped the last amount into the mold. After 24 hours the soap had discolored to a very light tan and the scent was strong. The soap almost reached a full gel. After 30 days, the soap discoloration remained at a very light tan and the scent remained strong. The discoloration was so light it could easily be covered by adding titanium dioxide to your soap.
