Hi all
Made my first cp soap today. I did a lemon soap and added fresh lemon zest on top. Anyone have any ideas why the zest turned reddish? And does anyone have suggestions on adding fresh ingredients without turning them?
 
You really should not use any fresh botanicals on the outside of soap. If you want to use something use dried. Also raw soap batter is still very active for up to 72 hrs and will affect the color of botanicals
 
i added semi dried thyme leaves to mine and it did not turn brown... yet it did not add any scent!
