So I got a few new fragrances in yesterday and was excited to try them. Here are a few of them.
Happily, none of the scents accelerated or riced and I had lots of time for mixing and molding. This morning I was surprised to find cracks on two of the molds, even though they don't appear to have gelled. The temp of oils and lye were about 115 and had cooled to about 90 after molding. They were uninsulated. Luckily, the cracks aren't very deep so I'll only lose one bar from the end of each. I'm still happy with how they turned out. The cut pics seem a different color, but I think the white balance got changed on the camera.
Ironically, the scents that cracked are the more masculine ones... lol
