Peppermint Mocha Fragrance

Lye Water Temperature 40ºC
Oil temperature 46ºC

We did not experience any acceleration or separation. This took a little longer than typical to come to a light trace and remained very easy to work with. Once at a light trace, the batter did turn a brownish yellow color. The soap was quite soft, so we allowed it to stay in the mold for 5 days before removing. While removing the soap from the mold, the soap was still soft and the corners stuck in the mold. The edges did turn a tan shade while the center remained white. We did not observe any signs of the soap going into a gel phase. The scent was very strong. After 30 days the soap discoloration was very patchy, but overall the final bars were a dark brown and there was still no sign of the soap going into a gel phase. The scent was quite strong and had a true chocolate peppermint scent. Due to the discoloration this would be a fun fragrance to create a holiday themed coffee soap.
