• Acceleration: No
• Deceleration: Yes
• Ricing: No

• Discoloration: No
• Behavior Notes: Tested at 3%. Fragrance decelerated trace and took ages to get to a trace. Batter was super runny and thin, and would be great in fluid designs. No discoloration was noted, and soap has a good scent retention. Would go up to 4% for a stronger scent.

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
