Hello All,
So my second batch of soap was made using a simple recipe of olive oil, palm oil & shea butter - along with distilled water & lye. I used Coconut Fragrance Oil with no colorant, however, my soap turned brown. Afterward, I realized that the FO contained vanillin which apparently was the source of the color change. Is there any way to avoid or counteract this color change in future batches? Any advise is greatly appreciated!
