Tested by Mason and Mason Handmade. Testing method: oils and lye water between 100-110 degrees. 2:1 water:lye ratio, 5% superfat. 55% hard oils (coconut, palm, shea) and 45% soft oils (olive, sweet almond, castor). Blended oils to emulsion, then separated out into three pitchers, hand-stirred oil-dispersed micas, and hand-stirred FO into each pitcher, then poured.

• Behavior Notes: Tested at 3%. Thickened batter slightly more than my unscented batch, but then remained at a light trace for the longest time! The scent retention is amazing, and there was no noticeable discoloration post cure. Very well behaved!

Tested by Creamy Obsession Soap. The testing recipe consisted of olive oil, coconut oil, lard, sunflower oil, castor oil, shea butter, mango butter, and cocoa butter. A 1.8:1 water to lye ratio was used, as well as a 5% superfat. All tests were conducted at room temperature, with a range of 85°F to 95°F Every small batch was brought to an emulsion, and then the fragrances were stirred in by hand and watched over a period of time while comparing to an unscented control poured from the same batch. After setting up, the bars were then CPOP’ed in their individual silicone molds in the oven at 170°F for 5 minutes to ensure a full gel. Separate popsicle sticks and pipettes were used for each individual fragrance to avoid any cross contamination.

• Acceleration: None
