Reviewing White Peach Sangria fragrance oil as well as 24 Karat Gold, Fiery Fusion, and Sunburst Sparkle micas in cold process soap.
I made cold process soap with goat milk, oat oil, and shea butter along with other light colored oils. There is always potential for discoloration due to milk and oils yet these products delivered well – but, not without adventure. Due to the milk I always soap at room temperature and I do not insulate. Plus, I use mostly round pvc pipe molds.

Using the photo attached to the fragrance as inspiration, I chose the micas from my stash. My computer video card does not do these micas justice nor do my photos. Out of the mold, the colors were vivid and appealing. As the soap cures, there is only a hint of discoloration which can be attributed solely to the milk and oils. The micas produce amazing color at the 1 tsp ppo recommended use rate. There was no discoloration from the fragrance oil.

However, the fragrance oil behavior had some bumps. I read the other reviews and was prepared for ricing and separation. Imagine my surprise when I did not encounter those issues but instead got some minor acceleration. Figures. I was able to manage the acceleration and complete a side by side pour with one side being solid and the other a pot swirl. After 24 hours the soap was unmolded and cut but I should have waited. The next day the soap was weeping slightly and ended up needing to be cleaned after a couple of weeks. Interestingly, the strength of the fragrance was not affected. It remains a moderate and still intoxicating scent after four months. The soap is gentle, lathers well, and is not drying in line with unscented, uncolored batches of the same recipe.

| Intoxicating. |
Even with the adventure, I highly recommend White Peach Sangria as it’s such an enjoyable fragrance. The 24 Karat Gold mica sparkles like bubbles in champagne which turned out wonderfully here. Together the Fiery Fusion and the Sunburst Sparkle micas encouraged a peachy illusion. This is now one of my favorite soaps.
