Erin Lea Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Is there anything that can be done to stop Pink Sugar from turning body products brown? I wasn't aware that it did this...made lotions a few nights ago (no dye, just white) and now I've read two threads that have mentioned the discoloration. My lotion hasn't turned colors...it's still white, but I'd rather know for sure if it's going to happen so I'm not surprised!Do people buy/want/use brown Pink Sugar products? I can't imagine!!! lol...might have to rename it Nasty Sugar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Yep, Pink Sugar has vanilla in it and that is what caused it. Well not just the vanilla but the vanilla being exposed to light. Light will accelerate the reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Lea Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 How can big companies get their vanilla-type products to stay an attractive color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 My Pink Sugar lotions and butters discolor to a pale pink. When I first started using it, I never realized it until DD brought it to my attention. She wanted to know why I hadn't colored the rest of the scents.

sockmonkey Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I always add pink coloring to my pink sugar lotion and have never noticed discoloration. Soap, however is a very different story. I will not use pink sugar in soap. I tried it once and the soap turned a heinous color on me, so I will not waste my time on that again.You can buy vanilla stabilizers that are supposed to prevent your products from turning colors on you. I purchased a bottle, but never used it. It had such a strong odor, which the supplier said would disappear, but I didn't want to risk it. Some people who use stabilizers say it doesn't work and others say it does. At least you know a product exists now and you can try it for yourself.

LindaColo Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 There was a thread about vanilla stabilizerhttp://candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22779&highlight=vanilla+stabilizerHTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacien Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I use Peaks Pink Sugar and it turns my bases pink too! That is sort of Ironic. I guess it is better than brown though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I don't think people really mind the color. Pink Sugar is a good seller for me. So if my French Vanilla Supreme, which turns all my lotions and pretty much anything dark brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYJen Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 My customers don't seem to mind the color. I've noticed that different suppliers' versions of Pink Sugar change different colors too. Peaks' turns it pink, while Daystars turned it brown. I just let my customers know it's a natural reaction because of the vanilla and they don't mind at all.
