Didn’t work for me.

So, my first issue… there isn’t any directions on how to use the product… it just says to use .5-2%. So, I used 2% of my FO.

When I put it in my batter it turned this bright mustard yellow… which put me in a panic and didn’t add any FO or Mica to it (so it wasn’t reacting to that)… and decided to not use the batter for a layer of my 50 bar batch of soap and put pour it into it’s own mold.

Thank God I didn’t use it. Within 3 days it turned to a dark brown… this would of completely ruin my 50 bar batch if I would of use it.

I’m really confused… why have a UV inhibitor when it’s turning the soap to a dark brown…

Also, if someone tries to use this just be careful for the tip of the bottle… it doesn’t stay inside the bottle…
