It's been 6 days since making the Key Lime Soap Pie.  I used Vanilla White-Color Stabilizer from Natures Garden Wholesale Candle and Soap Supplies. 

Interesting…  So the soap has discolored in areas that were exposed to air right after I poured the soap.  The areas that were up against the mold have not discolored.  The cut surfaces have not discolored as well.  The discoloration is pretty light, a light tan color.  So, overall the vanilla color stabilizer seems to be working, sort of.  I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it discolors any more.  I suppose if this is the most it's going to discolor I'll only use the color stabilizer when I use a log mold.  That would limit the surfaces that touch air when I pour. 

I've made more salt bars.  I made the same recipe 100% coconut oil at 20% superfat.   Last time I used table salt at 75% of the weight of oils.   This time I used fine grain sea salt at 100% weight as the oil or 1:1.  Coconut oil is one of the few oils, once saponified, that can withstand
high salt concentration and still create nice lather. 

So here's how my 1:1 salt weight to oil weight soap.  It's definitely less bubbly than my prior soap bar with less salt.  I think next time I'll go back to 75%

Here's how it lathered.  This is my first soap video!

Couldn't wait!  I just cut the Key Lime Soap Pie!  That was only about 4 hours after making it.  The soap heated up, but I just left it out uncovered.  I waited until it cooled down before I popped it out of the mold.  Never thought I'd be able to cut it that quickly, but it came out great!

Here's a slice.

Super cute!  Right now they are about 3.75 oz per slice.  Which will probably cure out to 3.5 oz in the end.  I think next time though I will add more piping around the edge and less in the center.  I like the piping to look more built up along the outside.  Yay!  OK, now we'll see how well the vanilla white color stabilizer will work as the slices cure.
