    Do colloidal oats discolor or accelerate?

    I was wondering if colloidal oats at 1Tb PPO accelerate trace or if they discolor in CP soap. The reason I was wondering this is I tried a new Grapefruit Honeysuckle FO but also tried adding colloidal oats for the first time. My soap really accelerated.

    Questions about my first batch

    I made my first batch of 100% Olive oil liquid soap. After diluting my paste I separated the nearly 3L of soap into 6 different jars to experiment with different EOs & FOs. In one jar I had around 470g soap to which I added 8g geranium EO. That soap has turned into a thick gel like jello. Can...
