the_amber_woods Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I know that some FO's will turn lotions and other items a different color due to the vanilla conent in them.Is there a way to prevent this? I read somewhere about a vanilla stabilizer for wax, but wasn't sure about for B&B products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have heard this too, though haven't actually experienced it. I use Peak's Vanilla Passion in lotion, and it's still white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yes, there are vanilla stabilizers & neutralizers for bath and body products.. I use crafters choice from WSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_amber_woods Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Crafter's Choice™ Vanilla Browning NeutralizerDirections: You must follow these instructions for the product to work correctly.Measure fragrance and place in glass container. Add equal amounts of neutralizer to the fragrance. Mix well and allow to sit a minimum of 2 minutes. Add to product. Note: You may neutralize large batches of vanilla based fragrance and store in glass amber bottles. In this case, shake well before using.Notes: Test this product with your fragrance and lotion formula in small batches to ensure you have the desired outcome. Very high vanilla based fragrances may have a slight color change over a period of time.INCI Ingredients: You are neutralizing and modifying a fragrance therefore list "fragrance" on your INCI label.Okay now I have a question, say I'm using 1/2 ounce FO to scent a batch of lotion. I would then add 1/2 ounce of this stuff for a total of 1oz of liquid. Then add the whole 1oz to the product? Does it come out feeling more oily? That seems like alot to me LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have heard this too, though haven't actually experienced it. I use Peak's Vanilla Passion in lotion, and it's still white.Same here. I've used Vanilla Satin & Pink Sugar in lotions, and they've never turned on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I used Vanilla Stabilizer from WSP http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductDetail.aspx?Tab=3&CatalogID=4&CatalogTitle=0&ProductID=2152 for not only M&P but for lotions, bath salts, bath melts, bubble bath, soy lotion sticks (just about anything I add FO to) ...... and it works for me..... if you follow the instructions (ask me how I know). BUT like they said above this product is specifically for lotions and bath gels http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductDetail.aspx?Tab=3&CatalogID=4&CatalogTitle=0&ProductID=3562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I made lotion, and used Peaks Vanilla Passion also, and after 4 months, it turned brown on me. :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 1% and my vanilla lotion which has sat around for longer than that didn't turn brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I've had great success with WSP Vanilla Browning Neutralizer. If I even think there might some Vanilla in a oil I use it. Learned the hard way when I had to many lotions turn a ugly color cause there was vanilla in it and I didn't realize it. Your lotion may not sit long on your shelf so you may never see the color change, but you don't know how long it will take your customers to use up a bottle.

LynnS Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I haven't made a vanilla in lotion but did in MP soap.Changed color.A pukey pink in the Goat's Milk.That is the only base I used it in. LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amieelynne Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 ok, probably a silly question but if you use these products as directed to you are cutting your FO in half...doesn't that make a weaker scent? on the other hand you don't cut your FO to accomodate this and you are doubling the additive in your lotion---if you're using a base wouldn't that overload your product, making it greasy, thin and throw off the balance of preservatives?
