I only work with m/p soap. I have noticed that with clear soap base somethimes my end result will not be so clear. Is it the fo I am useing?
Does anyone know what to look for in an fo that wil not discolor the soap? I am wondering if I only need to look for scents that dont contain vanilla? I want to make valentine hearts with shapes that you can see thru the soap.
Thanks
Janie

It is most likely the fo. Using a vanilla stabilizer in clear soap actually makes them cloudyish, too.

Here's a couple tips that I've found over the years of keeping soap clear:
1) If the fo is clear, it's more likely to keep the mp clear
2) Stir the fo slowly and if it starts to cloud up, keep stirring slowly. The cloudiness sometimes goes away (that one's a good one, because sometimes it's just that the fo didn't get stirred in enough)
3) Try adding a little alcohol to the mp base (I've rarely ever done this)

I've also heard of people adding just the tiniest bit of blue color to the clear mp base to make it look more clear, but I've never tried it.

I agree, the FO is probably doing that.

I love the blueing technique. Just make sure to add a tiny bit. When we see a yellow tint it looks dirty, but when our eyes see the slight blue tint instead it looks clean and clear. I know this was done with laundry bleaching also, to get the whites looking super clean. :wink:

Anne-Marie does it in this video
If you just want to see the technique you can skip to about the 2:30 mark.
