I'm relatively new to soapmaking & this forum but have come up with a question that might be of interest to other newbies.
I am making a 76oz batch of coffee themed/scented soap. It will be divided into thirds - dark brown, light brown and white. My FO smells fantastic but discolors to dark brown. Not a problem with the brown colors so I don't want or feel I need to use a VCS.
The question - Can I simply put fragrance into only 2/3 of the batter and leave it out of the part I want to stay white?
Feedback? And thanks. I have benefitted so much from what I read on this forum!
Oh but wait! A second question! Using prepared coffee vs instant coffee vs grounds brewed in hot lye. Any benefits to one of these?
