Any fragrance that uses vanilla in it will cause soap to turn varying shades brown. It's pretty much impossible to prevent. A soaper just needs to know it's going to happen and be prepared for it.
This is my first version of Happy Birthday soap. Why Happy Birthday? Because it smells like buttercream frosting! Yum.E! Plus I plan to have it available with special packaging for those who want to give a special gift.
I say it's my first version because I plan to tweak the look a bit. I don't know about you but I love me some extra frosting...So I got to work on getting the "white frosting" part thicker! =o)
The following photos were taken over the span of about a week. The first photo is fresh cut. You can see how the outer part of the soap log already turned brown. But the parts not exposed to air hadn't. Watch as the days go by how brown it gets. Fascinating, no?
