Any ideas on why the background color of this soap turned dark yellow?
Recipe was:
16 oz. olive oil
10 oz. palm oil
10 oz. coconut oil
8 oz. canola oil
2 oz. apricot kernel oil
15 oz. distilled water
6.35 oz. sodium hydroxide
3 T. oakmoss FO
Nothing added to base color of soap
Accents are black oxide and brown oxide, did not get the effect I was looking for, but a learning experience nevertheless
Temp. of both lye and fats was right around 100 degrees
Mold was silicone in wire basket from Essential Depot, wrapped in towels and placed in a cooler so it would go through gel
But why did the background turn to yellow? You can see on the top of the bar what the base color looked like.
Grateful for any ideas!
