    Why did my soap turn brown?

    Do you usually mix in the FO at the same time you are mixing your other oils? Or do you do that last?

    Why did my soap turn brown?

    Good to know! I guess it can be a little unpredictable. I guess my biggest fear was that the soap was contaminated in some way but that doesn't seem to be the case. The way it is swirled in looks like it may just be from the FO and is safe to use.

    Why did my soap turn brown?

    I stick blended the FO in, but I feel like I could have blended it a little better than I did. I have used this FO before though and it never discolored my soaps. I hope the whole soap doesn't change color.

    Why did my soap turn brown?

    I used a silicone mold and did not line it with anything. Should I have? I did not do anything different with the white portion than I did with the rest of it. It's so odd.

    Why did my soap turn brown?

    I used olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, castor oil, and kokum butter. My fragrance oil was bramble berry's tabaco and bay leaf.

    Why did my soap turn brown?

    Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. I made cold process soap this week and for the first time some of the edges turned brown and I'm not sure why. It is not all throughout my soap and almost looks marbled as if I added it into the soap. Your insight is appreciated!

    To sell, or not to sell...

    It's hard to tell without ever having had my own business before. But I think it I would enjoy both aspects of it. Thank you!

    Thank you! It's nice to hear your positive experience with it. I know it's hard work and wouldn't pull in too much income, but I'm glad you are still enjoying it.

    To sell, or not to sell...

    Hi! I wasn't sure if this was the right topic to post under, but I think it fits. I have only been making CP soaps for a little while now and am nowhere near ready to sell any. However, I was thinking down the line that it is something I would like to do once I perfect my recipe and test it...

    Hello from Pennsylvania!

    Hi everyone! I am fairly new to making soap. I have been doing it for several months now just for fun. I am so glad I found this forum to ask questions and follow other threads. I still have lots of room for improvement and lots to learn, but I am really enjoying it so far! Maybe eventually...

    And does the sodium lactate or salt accelerate trace at all?
