We did not experience any acceleration but we did have some ricing. Initially, we thought this would just be slow to come to a light trace but then we started to see the little pieces of “rice” form in the batter and it had the appearance of soupy rice. We continued blending until the soap batter smoothed out which was when it reached a medium-thick trace. The batter was still loose enough to get into the mold easily. After 24 hours, the scent was strong and had a more dominant tuberose character but kept the sweet gardenia notes. There was no discoloration but we did observe the soap had almost reached a full gel with no signs of overheating. After 30 days there is no discoloration and the scent is more balanced and remained strong.
