Pineapple Sage Fragrance
We did experience a slight amount of acceleration and separation but we found these were easy to overcome by alternating short bursts of the stick blender and hand stirring. Once the lye water was added to the fragranced oils, the mixture came to a light trace with minimal use of the stick blender but once the stick blender stopped we could see signs of separation. Continuing to stick blend seemed to make the batter very lumpy and hard to work with. With a little patience and switching between hand stirring and stick blending, the batter smoothed out and we were able to pour the soap into the mold at a medium trace. After 24 hours the soap had a slight yellow discoloration and the scent was very strong. We were able to see that the soap reached almost a full gel with no insulation. After 30 days the soap had discolored to a light tan shade and the scent remained strong. We would recommend mixing in colors before hand stirring in the fragrance to avoid excess acceleration if the stick blender is needed to smooth the batter. A simple design would be best since the fragrance can misbehave in the batter. The CandleScience Clean Scents™ Range
