Hey, you've been seeing a lot of me lately, but my first batches of soap definitely did not turn out as planned.
Anyway, I made a batch of soap with Blackberry Sage fragrance from Nature's Garden and the day after I cut it, I noticed that the smell has changed and it's kind of got a minty moldy (if that makes any sense) smell to it. It smells nothing like it did when I cut it. It's now been a week and it still smells like that. Whenever I was making it, it did accelerate extremely fast, I had to pretty much glop it into the mold. But I'm pretty sure I didn't wait long enough for the lye water to cool down on it though. Other than the scent it seems the soap did pretty well.
My recipe was as follows:
20% palm oil
30% coconut oil
40% canola oil
5% castor oil
5% sweet almond oil
2 oz of Blackberry Sage from Nature's Garden fragrance
Thank you so much for all the help you've given me so far.
