comfortscents Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...maybe it's the way I'm storing my finished soaps but after a while the colors change and fade..I've had white soaps turn brown...is it something I'm doing wrong?

donna4909 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 White soaps turning brown is usually caused by the fragrance. Anything with vanilla in it will usually turn soap brown. For melt and pour soap, you can get a vanilla stabilizer that will stop it.Edited for spelling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 That was going to be my comment about the fo's that have vanilla in them but then realized it was M&P - I was unaware that it turned M&P brown also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Yep, it does with MP too. Here's the link for stabilizer:http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/Product.aspx?Tab=3&CatalogID=4&GroupID=596&CatalogTitle=0&CategoryID=1004&CategoryName=Vanilla+Color+StabilizerApparently this also works with HP soap, but I haven't tried it.

comfortscents Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 thanks all, I just ordered the stabilizer...now if I could just get my other soaps to stop fading..there's so much waste when I have to toss them out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Don't toss 'em use them yourself!! I'm having the same problem, the ones I've made months ago, are all discolored now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 the only MP I have that has changed color(sofar..knock on wood) is my Pink Sugar..but it actually turned a light orange color...Im ok with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, I've been using the stabilizer from WSP for about 3 years now and it is great. If I have any doubt that there is any vanilla in any of my FO's I use the stabilizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
