Cold-process soapWorkable

Floral fragrance oils are the most common culprits for accelerating trace or ricing in cold process. Read supplier soap-test notes, soap at cooler temperatures and have a slow recipe ready. Check the vanillin content — sweeter versions turn cold-process and melt-and-pour soap tan to brown.

Melt-and-pour soapGood

Popular in melt-and-pour; check the vanillin content — sweeter versions turn cold-process and melt-and-pour soap tan to brown.
