Bad for CP :(

I love this essential oil. It smells like spearmint or wintergreen. I have used it in lip balm and its really nice. However, I just used it in my CP soap and it did some weird stuff! As soon as i put it into my oil mix (100/105 degrees), it turned the soap a bright white color where the EO was and started to curdle the soap mix, like little dots of hard chunks of soap started to form. I wish I didn't use such a big soap mold with this EO! That was a bad idea. I was able to do a little in the pot swirl but there were still lots of chunks floating around. I have no idea what this will look like when I cut tomorrow. It may look really cool with little white specks in it or its going to look really bad. I don't think I will use this EO for CP soap again, not worth it :(

Sweet Birch oil in CP Soap

This was my first batch using Sweet Birch EO (CP soap) and likely my last. I added it just as I was ready to pour and instantly the batter riced. Big chunky specs throughout. My olive oil ratio was 55%. I was able to layer and do a quick swirl, now I wait to see the results. I will try a different EO next time to get that Wintergreen/Spearmint smell.

transformative birch--masquerades as wintergreen and EGG WHITE!

In the batch of soap I made today, the Birch EO was the last ingredient to be added. I was startled to see the clear, pale oil instantly curdle and turn white, like egg white dropped into hot water. (In fact it was cool enough to stick a finger into.) I mixed it in with the stick blender; a lot of unmixed Birch EO got stuck around the blades. The soap mix became opaque, and started to thicken and take peaks in a minute or two. Not what I was expecting, given half my base is olive oil! I hastily changed my somewhat finicky two-tone colour plan to a simple swirl, and filled the molds before who-knows-what happened. It still looks okay and still smells of wintergreen/birch. I don't know if it was an oddball ingredient the Birch EO was reacting to, or if it always does this. After this experience with a slower-hardening base, I would be cautious about using this EO with a fast-hardening lard-based soap. Next time I make this, I will probably mix in the Birch EO with the main oils before adding the lye mix. Has anyone had this experience with this oil?
