Hi! I read this in a book on natural soapmaking. It stated that if vanilla fragrance oil or vanilla essential oil is added to a M&P base and it turns the soap yellow then just let the base harden; then remelt it, and the yellow will go away! Have anyone ever heard of this? I'm waiting on my vanilla stabilizer to arrive and if this works I can start using my vanilla now.
Thanks everyone!

I don't think so. Vanilla will discolor, unless you use a stabilizer.

I don't think so either... I have never heard of this. If you wanted to give it a try I don't see what it would hurt, but I strongly doubt it will work. :wink:

That doesn't work. I saw that a couple years ago in a forum, so I tried it a few times. It was still yellow.

You all, saved me a lot of work. I will wait for the vanilla stabilizer to come.
