We experienced a moderate amount of acceleration but no separation. Within 30 seconds of pulsing the stick blender we had a medium trace. After 24 hours, we observed the soap had a dark tan color around the edges while the center remained a light cream color. The soap almost reached a full gel with no insulation. Initially, the scent was a little weak and not very pleasant. However, after 30 days the fragrance was stronger and had a wonderful tropical mango and sweet coconut smell. Unfortunately, this fragrance does have quite a high amount of vanillin which causes the brown discoloration and our final bars came out a dark brown color. Be creative with your colors on this one, you may want to leave some of your batter unfragranced to avoid the discoloration.
