DeJae Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I made some bath bomb mixture, made 2 pounds, divided it up and make 3 different scents 2 with color and one without color.The all came out fine, I used the FD&C colors, just one drop and one tsp of FO.Anyway, one of them a week later, now has brown specks. I packaged these into glass jars. Why am I getting brown specs in one of them, anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 umm! i have never gotten brown spots, but if i would have to guess, i would think1. vanilla was in the fragrance oil or2. the oil(s) may have gone rancid or3. did not properly store themI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I've also gotten brown spots from some FOs. They just don't seem compatible with such a salty environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I've gotten them too w/ FOs that have vanilla in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 I don't think it had vanilla in itIt was Cucumber Melonand another was Coconut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'm pretty sure I've never seen a coconut without vanilla in it so that would be one. Sometimes the melon scents do too.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malaki Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 i get the same with my vanilla ones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have coconut oil and it is an amber or honey color, I wonder if that might be the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesoapbox Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Not sure where you got your fo's from but I was checking WSP's fragrances and all their coconut fragrances have 1% vanilla with one of them having 3% vanilla and their cucumber melon has 1% vanilla. So I am willing to bet your spots are indeed from vanilla Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have coconut oil and it is an amber or honey color, I wonder if that might be the culprit.Do you mean your coconut oil? Or a coconut FO? Regular CO should be clear when it's melted and white when solid. Never used a coconut FO so can't say there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJae Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Personally, I used Coconut FO, not the Coconut Oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
