We did not experience any acceleration or separation. After we added the lye water to the oils, we gently hand stirred with our stick blender which appeared to create a fairly stable emulsion. After stick blending for an extended period of time we had to give the stick blender a break and we still only had an emulsion, no sign of trace. Finally when we thought we had a light trace, we made sure to triple check before pouring into the mold. After 24 hours the soap was still very soft and needed more time to set up in the mold. After an additional 4 days, we were able to get the soap out of the mold but it was still very soft. We observed the soap had only reached a partial gel and there was no discoloration. The scent was strong and true. After 30 days the soap had discolored slightly to a pale yellow. The scent was strong but the jasmine notes were more prominent compared to the initial aroma. This fragrance would be ideal for colorful designs that require a light trace for an extended amount of time.
