We did experience some acceleration but no separation. The mixture came to a light trace quickly, and with just a few additional pulses of the stick blender we had a medium-thick trace. The batter initially poured into the mold easily, but then started to clump as the last little bit was poured. Tamping the mold after pouring did smooth out the top. We did experience a wide variety of color changes throughout the process. When adding the lye water to the fragranced oils, the oils turned grey. As we began stick blending, the mixture turned a light yellowish-brown color. After 24 hours, the outer edges of the soap were a dark mustard yellow shade while the inside remained a light lemon yellow shade. The scent was super strong! After 30 days the scent had faded slightly, but was still pleasantly strong. The final color of the bar is dark brown. The discoloration and acceleration will limit the design options, but the final scent would be well worth a simple design.

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.

Tonka & Oud
I was pleasantly surprised by this lovely blend. Subtle gentle notes with the underlying Moroccan note coming through to linger on the senses. I add a few drops in a spritzer bottle of water to carry with me for a refreshing facial spray on these hot summer days.
