We experienced a moderate, nearing excessive amount of acceleration but no separation. We stick blended for no more than 5 seconds and the batter was at a thick trace. We were able to continue hand stirring to ensure all the oils and water were fully combined and the batter did not stiffen. The batter turned bright yellow once it came to a trace. After 24 hours, we observed the soap had only reached a partial gel and the outer edges discolored to tan while the inner area remained yellow. The scent was very strong. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to a chocolate brown color and the scent remained strong. We recommend allowing the oils and lye water to cool to room temperature before mixing, hand stirring this fragrance in at a very light trace, and choosing a simple design that embraces the dark discoloration.
