Cypress & Bayberry Fragrance

Lye Water Temperature 43ºC
Oil temperature 47ºC

We did not experience any acceleration or separation. The batter turned a bright mustard yellow color, once it reached a light trace. This is somewhat common with pine fragrances. After 24 hours the scent was strong. The soap appears to have reached a full gel with no insulation. Each bar had a dark tan ring around the edges while the center was a pale yellow. After five days out of the mold, the soap bars have turned a purple color on the inside. After the cure, the scent is quite strong. The bars have an uneven discoloration pattern of purple and tan. The batter was easy to work with which would make swirls and layers easier when using this fragrance. However, due to the discoloration, plan a dark color pallet.
