ah-soy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Has anyone ever used a VS in bubble bars? I really want to use some of my vanilla scents but they are turning my bubble bars brown. Don't have the problem in any other products.Also, does anyone have a rec for the best VS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulougirl Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I just got some Vanilla Browning Neutralizer, from WSP. I tried it with my Vanilla Pear fo from NG in bubble bars a few days ago. No browning yet! Last time I used that scent in bubble bars with no neutralizer they were brown within a few hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just getting ready to order a few things from WSP so I'll get some to try.Forgot to add that I also have the Vanilla Pear from NG...I love the scent for B&B!

ah-soy Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Lou Lou, I meant to ask you, do you blend it up per the instructions for soap? Equal parts? Or do you have another method?Kitn, I've heard good reviews about the BCN stuff in soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulougirl Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I do blend it equal parts of fo, and neutralizer. I end up using less fo than I normally would, but I really can't tell any difference. hth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks for the info. Are your Vanilla Pear bars still OK? and, does this stuff stink as bad as the reviewers say? AND...ha...does the smell go away as claimed?so many questions...sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulougirl Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 lol No worries. They are still nice and green, no brown specks or anything. I honestly didn't notice any foul smell. Course, my sense of smell isn't the sharpest, and I didn't exactly sniff the open bottle or anything either! lolThey smell like nummy vanilla pear, no chemically note or anything off.

CareBear Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Kitn, I've heard good reviews about the BCN stuff in soap. there are myriad bad ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Carebear, do you have one that you like the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 sorry, I meant to say there are myriad bad REVIEWS about the BCN vanilla stabilizer in CP. I myself ended up with oily nasty soaps in some cases, and glass-like shards in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulougirl Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Well, almost a week later... and there are a few (3-4) brown spots on the pink sugar bubble bars, and the vanilla pear bubble bars. I'm thinking this may be due to not mixing it as well as I should have. I just kinda gave it a swirl then dumped it in. I made some with NG blue hawaiian, colored them blue, used the neutralizer as well, and those don't have any brown spots. All three kinds I made within a day of each other. On this one I mixed the fo and neutralizer together really well before adding. I'll be keeping an eye on the blue hawaiian ones to see if they too develop drown spots. Perhaps the only key with this is to just mix thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much...please do post on the Blue Hawaiian. I still haven't placed my order with WSP. Got caught up testing a new bomb recipe trying to eliminate the cornstarch. It's always something!

Loulougirl Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 LOL I know huh? Well, so far so good on the Blue Hawaii. The spots on the others haven't gotten much worse. I did shrink wrap them as an experiment, tho I don't know if that would slow or stop the browning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 OK Miss Loulou...hows it doing since you wrapped it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loulougirl Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 lol Well... lookin good so far. I honestly have no idea if wrapping helps keep the spots away. lol It seems the pink sugar and vanilla pear all have a few brown spots, but haven't gotten any worse. The blue hawaiian have no spots! I've been making scrubs since then, but I'll be back to the bubble bars soon, and I'll try mixing really, really well to see if that helps.
