I know there are color neutralizers and stabilizers out there for vanilla, but those are for MP soap. Is there anything for CP soap to help it from turning brown when using a FO that contains vanilla?

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but thought I'd ask the experts first.

Thanks!

There is a color neutralizer for CP, but it tends to morph to yellow and changes some notes in fragrances.

afraid I am not much help with vanilla FO, but I do remember someone mentioning non-discoloring vanilla FO - I believe oregontrailsoap.com has it...

Edit: by the way, does anyone know what is the URL for the scent review site - I can't find it anymore.

The scent review site is down at the moment - the owner knows about the issue and is working on fixing it.

And non-discoloring vanilla always smells kinda flat and plasticky to me - I'm going to agree with Linda, learn to love the brown. :lol:

Non-discoloring vanilla smells like kid's playdough to me.

I tried the non-discoloring vanilla too. A long time ago.For the same reason. It was a flat ,poor ,imitation of vanilla select IMHO.
