strange yellow issue

[anneli]

I used GSE (0.2 oz per 1 lb) and T-50 (1 tbs per 1 lb) in my last two batches of CP soap and they both turned awfully yellow. Other oils used: shea, olive, coconut, mango. Which one is contributing to the yellow - GSE or T-50?? Am I using too much of them?

I don't know about the tocopherols, but I've heard GSE can discolor soap.

How much are you using?

Could it be your FO? EO?

 

[anneli]

I used 0.2 oz per 15 oz of oils. And with one of the batches I didn't use any EO or FO.

I'm quessing it is the GSE that is doing the discoloring.. I suppose I can just not use it since some people don't believe it prevents DOS anyhow.. and I haven't gotten any DOS so far when I wasn't using the GSE but then again none of my batches are more than a month old. I guess, I'll have to wait and hope they won't develop.
