Eucalyptus frost

[Ugeauxgirl]

I bought this fragrance by WSP and it turned my soap yellow. It faded pretty badly too. Won't be buying that one again.

I put the discolored bars against a white one so you can see the contrast. Really yellow. Going to have to rebatch or toss

I know the color isn't what you wanted, but it doesn't look bad at all. I sure wouldn't toss it.

I agree with @AliOop , I wouldn't toss it!
WSP gives a mixed message on this FO since they say there is no discoloration yet provide a picture of cured soap that is very yellow indeed. One of the reviews for CP also mentions that it discolors to yellow.
Me? I would give it a silly name like the old Zappa jokes: "Yellow Snow" by I.P. Freely

It's pretty - don't toss it! I hate rebatching, and soap would have to be so much worse looking than that for me to even think about it.

Blue and yellow compliment each other well. I think it's worth keeping. I know it isn't what you wanted, but maybe you'll be able to appreciate it in time. The impression mat soap is lovely too - and a very impressive whiteness!

I went back and looked at the photo- you're right, it's very yellow. I wonder if that photo is new. I usually look at that. Also they're color pics are usually oval...

Y'all are right, it's not terrible, I was just expecting white. And the "yellow snow" did occur to me- not the frosty winter soap I imagined...

It's "Frosted Eucalyptus" - I got the name wrong

How about "Sunny Winter Day"?

How about "Sunny Winter Day"?

Take it from a Canadian; some of the coldest winter days are clear blue skies and full-on sunshine!

Love that idea!

I live in southern Alabama and wouldn't know anything about that!

I agree with everyone - keep it! Make a note of the color change and use that knowledge (of color) when you design your next batch! This is what I do. I always try to stay as natural as possible but add mica for n accent onto whatever color my base soap might end up. Yes, I do test batches for color changes.

Your soap is lovely. Keep it!

Attached an example of discolorations I use to my soaps benefit. This is: Goat Milk soap - Blk Pepper & Cardamon (left) and Old Time Barbershop (on right). Blk Pepper & Cardamon does have a Snow White mica swirl (from Mad Micas)which shows up very loudly after 3 wks. of curing, and the Barbershop has no color, only used coffee grounds. These two soaps are my bigger sellers.

@Ugeauxgirl How old are the bars? Not that we're overlooking rancidity issues here. From afar, the discolouration looks suspiciously uneven.

 

[Ugeauxgirl]

It does. They are about 5 weeks old. I don't love the fragrance but they don't smell rancid. I thought I hadn't mixed the fo in as well as I should have.

Same for your “southern” neighbors in Wyoming and Idaho.
