Teach Soap

I got this wonderful fragrance Moonlight Pomegranate as a sample in my box . I was so excited for the great smell, I fell in love with it. I was going to make some cp soap with it but am newer to soap making. I saw the warning on the description:
"This fragrance does threaten to seperate in CP soap so we recommend it for advanced soapers who have a firm understanding of stick blending an emulsion back together."
I do use a stick blender and add the EO after I come to trace.
Could someone explain what this looks like and how to correct it?
I really would like to try it with soap.
Thanks much

What could happen is that your emulsion will start to separate - you'll begin to see what looks like oil floating to the top. If this happens just gently stick blend it until it's all reincorporated and the soap batter looks "normal" again.
I got a sample of this, too and will probably add it to my warmed oils before adding my lye water. Hopefully doing it this way will keep it from separating.

I have had that happen a couple of times with different EO and I just keep mixing till it disappears. I never knew the proper term for it.
Thanks so much for the info. Looks like another batch of soap in the works

I recieved this in my bramble box and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!! I have some BBW midnight pomegranate hand cream and this is a dead on dupe!

I have used this FO 3 times and never had an issue with separation, maybe a slight acceleration in trace but nothing that I cannot work within. I love this FO. it is a "keeper" for sure.

I have this F/O for a long time. Use it MP soaps, but have been hesitant to use in CP soap due to the BB statement too. But after reading this thread, I will take the plunge this weekend.

I got this one in my package as well....not a huge fan .. It's not horrible, just too perfumy for me.

Does BB tend to do the same scent samples kn clumps like this?

You can request a specific scent for your sample. They can't always promise but will try. I will usually ask for one or the other so I can get a sample that I have never tried.

I tried it in a body cream and love it. It doesn't bother my allergies. Great choice. going to try making the soap this coming week.

Anyone have any ideas on what other scents to combine with it? I don't usually make batches small enough for the sample alone, so I need to mix it with something else.

I think it would smell nice blended with a spice like cinnamon or clove, or maybe another fruit like peach.
