MoonShadow Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) So I made a 3lb batch of lavender patchouli EO's, no color added, wrapped it up and left it for 24 hours, and it appears I got a partial gel. But my question is...why is it green? Is it from the EO's?Recipe is light olive, coconut, palm, palm kernel, avocado and castor. And coconut milk. I also soaped at RT. Maybe I shouldn't have allowed it to gel? Edited February 14, 2013 by MoonShadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitn Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It could be the OO or the avocado oil turned it light green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 My money is on the coconut milk. I've seen it happen a few times before. Usually it fades a but over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I thought it looked kind of cool too. So is the color completely gone now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
