We did not experience any acceleration or separation. The oils and water were slow to come to trace and the batter turned yellow. Initially the batter poured smoothly into the mold but we did see the last amount to pour out were starting to thicken. After 24 hours, we observed the soap only reached a partial gel and only the outer edges discolored tan while the center area remained yellow. The scent remained true to the out of bottle character and was strong but not overwhelming. After 30 days, the soap remained a tan shade with dark brown marbling in the center. The scent was mild but still true to the out of bottle character. We’re not sure what caused the marbling effect but it could have been where glycerin rivers formed during the initial saponification. This would be a great scent to embrace the discoloration of this fragrance and incorporate it into the soap design.
