I’ve ordered from Brambleberry and would 10/10 recommend. Has anyone ordered from Bulk Apothecary or Wholesale Supplies Plus? Are they worth it?

Unfortunately I’ve had a bad experience with that e commerce network that begins with an A.

Hello

So I’ve been trying to troubleshoot gel phase of my cold process soap. When it started out it was a vibrant purple but now it’s getting pale. I mixed both with the lye water solution and oils roughly 115 degrees.

The recipe is as follows;

All of these were measured on an electronic scale

16.5 oz olive oil

13.75oz coconut oil

13.75oz palm oil

8oz avocado oil

3oz mango butter

The colorant was purple rain mica and the fragrance oil was lavender fragrance oil, both by brambleberry. It was placed in a silicone loaf mold with a wooden box. It’s looking darker but the vibrant purple doesn’t seem to have come back.

What is going on here?
