Lye Water Temperature 24ºC
Oil temperature 38ºF
We did not experience any acceleration or separation. The batter came to an emulsion quickly but we had to stick blend and hand stir for a little over 5 minutes to reach a thin trace. The lye water and oils were a little cooler than our normal soaping temperature, which may have slowed trace. After 24 hours the soap was still very soft so we allowed the soap to stay in the mold for another 2 days. Once we removed the soap from the mold we noticed it was still very soft, and probably could have used an additional day in the mold to harden a little more. There was no discoloration and the scent had a pleasant herbal quality with the sage notes becoming slightly more dominant. We did not see any signs of the soap going into a gel phase. After 30 days the scent became more balanced and is pleasantly mild. There was no discoloration. Due to the slow trace and no discoloration this would be a great scent for intricate swirls using vivid colors.
Behaved very well in cold process soap. No ricing or acceleration. Scent very nice. Added White Sage tea to the recipe.
Love this in the defuser
Love this scent in my candles
I like this combination. Lavender fragrance oil has a chemical/cleaning product top end note but the addition of Sage helps to reduce that and give a scent that is truer and very pleasant. It has a rounded balanced scent - definitely dried sage that is almost 'tea-like' with some sweetness from lavender. I am using it in candles.
Could do with a touch more White Sage, other than that it's lovely
