Oatmeal Milk Honey FO color ?

[marchroses]

Does the OMH FO lend a color on it's own to your soap?

I noticed that Almond Biscotti made my bars a nice caramel color and Vanilla of course made a deep brown. None of my other FO or EO batches changed colors (peppermint, Yuzu, tea and ginger, etc stayed the light yellow soap color).

I'm wondering about OMH before I soap it? Also, if you want a tinge of deeper color can you add a teaspoon of vanilla FO to a 4 lb batch and have it add a slight darkening?

Thanks

I always add real honey to my OMH, that changes the colour on it's own.

That sounds lovely! With only 10 batches under my belt I'm still a little nervous about trying food mix in's. Although the dry mix in's like mint and grapefruit peel have been turning out very nice.

I am enjoying the look of my layered soap and was hoping that if OMH naturally deepens a bit, I could pour most of the log with the OMH scent and do a 1 inch layer of the natural colored soap on top with ground oatmeal in it. Then I would have that nice contrast layered look I've been enjoying

Maybe you'd like to experiment with honey powder.

the scent works OMH leaves soap a lovely creamy tan color.

AND if you add 2x more of the OMH than you should and a pinch of real honey... you will get a really dark lovely color :wink:

I make some goat milk soap where you can see a difference.

Here's the one with no fragrance and no coloring.

Here's the one DOES have OMH fragrance, but no additional coloring. Please excuse the slightly green shadowing... photo coloring is a little off. I need to fix that.

You can see that the fragrance does darken a little bit. I bought the fragrance at Save On Scents.

Those pictures were very helpful, I think I have my plan now! Can't wait to get soaping today
