Hi all, problem here Brown dots all over soap from fragrance oil. Switched to nurture soap LIlac blossom from BBs Lilac. Triple checked fragrance calculator before using. Mixed like I usually do at 80 degrees. Started accelerating fast in first batch (I'm sure due to over mixing and could have waited to get temp down a bit more). Second batch didn't accelerate as fast. Instead of palm oil I used Palm shortening. Other than those two differences, it's the same soap recipe I always use. Zap tested and they were great.
Two questions: 1) any chance of fragrance dots dissipating or absorbing to the point of "not noticeable?" Or is this batch a give to family batch?
2.) Is there a huge difference when switching from palm oil to palm shortening? It's 100% palm oil.
Thank you for your thoughts and help! And Happy Holidays everyone
***Update, was told that the palm shortening could be the culprit. The palm shortening I bought was from smart and final and is good through 11/22. It reads 100% palm oil. Has anyone had issues with this shortening?
