pink sugar discoloration

[deisel]

does pink sugar discolor in M & P like it does in CP or HP? planning on whipping up a batch and using candle source or BCN versions. any advice welcome!! TIA_kris

This has been discussed many times here. It does turn your M&P dark to black. Really!

I wonder if you could make it highly scented, but marble it with some pink tinted unscented? You'd have a brown and pink swirl but I love brown with pink. and that would be much more attractive to me as a buyer than plain brown soap. It would depend on how brown "Pink Sugar" turns that part of the soap though; it could be an ugly brown or a pretty brown. I suppose you'd have to test that on it's own first.

Or make a scented batch, then chunk it up and put into a pink tinted, unscented batch?

Or layer brown scented on bottom, and pink unscented on top?

WSP used to sell vanilla color stabilizer years ago.....not sure if they still do but you may want to check there. I used to use it with much success.

Can't you put FO that discolor into clear MP base and then color the clear base because clear bases do not discolor. I feel like I read that someplace.

Also I like the idea of doing a swirl. One scent and one unscented. That's what I may do soon!!

It does work to scent half the batch and swirl them together, pink and brown goes well together.
