Separation

Lye Water Temperature 112ºF (44.4°C)
Oil Temperature 102ºF (38.9°C)

We experienced a moderate amount of acceleration and a slight amount of separation initially. We found it difficult to bring the water and oils to an emulsion, each time we stopped the stick blender we could see the oils and water separate. Eventually they came together and held which brought the batter to a medium trace. The batter stayed workable enough to pour smoothly into the mold without any additional thickening. After 24 hours, we observed the soap had only reached a partial gel and there was a slight yellow discoloration. The scent was strong and had a crisp freshness. After 30 days, a very light yellow discoloration was observed, which could be easily covered by titanium dioxide or other colorants. The scent had mellowed but remained strong and crisp. It would be ideal to incorporate the color in the batter first, then add fragrance last.

SO GOOD, SUPER POTENT!!
Veenie 2024-10-05

I love this clean scent so so much, I add it with another FO to create a clean scent that creates more of a high end scent. I think a lot of people prefer other clean linens scent but for me, I only love this one. Hopefully Candle Science never discontinue this Cotton scent!! Will be so sad if they discontinue! My best seller as well.

Great “clean” Scent
Erika 2024-07-25

This FO is a great option to have for a clean/laundry scent in your line. I like to use 9% in 444. I also use this scent with the oatmeal shea soap base.

Perfection!
KitKat 2023-11-26

This fragrance was the first successful candle I accomplished. I use 464 and it has perfect cold and Hot throw. Will use this fragrance for one of my candle lines.

Great Scent
Jana 2023-10-31

I favor making strongly scented candles and this one does very well. Candle Science does a better job with their Clean Cotton compared to other companies. If you are looking for a clean-smelling candle, give this a try.

Smells like Laundry
Christie Jean-Pierre 2023-10-17

This smells like laundry. I use it on Virgin Coconut Soy Wax. It has a great cold throw but I haven't used it on hot throw as of yet.
