I just want to post a follow-up on my original post and thank Michi for her response. It was the vanilla stabilizer causing the unpleasant smell in my goat milk soap. The new batch I made without the stabilizer was just perfect. I found a NEW ADDICTION! Now, I make sure to have my candle and soap making supplies delivered when hubby is not home. I enjoy opening the boxes when I'm all alone, LOL!

Hi everyone, Newbie here but lurked for a while . I've just started making MP Goat Milk Soap. I bought my supplies from WSP. I love everything vanilla so I also bought their Vanilla Stabilizer. I made several soap bars yesterday scented with Mango Papaya, Purely Peppermint, Vanilla Buttercreme and really love the creamy soap and fragrances but it has a lingering "waxy" scent after showering with it. I tested all 3 scents with the same results. I used the vanilla stabilizer on all 3 scents since each one of them had vanilla according to the label. The goat milk soap base doesn't have any scent at all because I washed my hands with the unscented base and didn't have that waxy scent. I was wondering if it's the vanilla stabilizer. I will make some more soap later without the stabilizer and see what happens. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this with their goat milk soap or by using the vanilla stabilizer. Thanks for any feedback. I love this board!
