Problem with Acceleration in Recipe

[ShadyPineSoaps]

Hi, I'm new here. I'm enjoying the program. I've been having issue's with my batches accelerating. Even when the Fragrance says it's not known to accelerate. I've been mixing my micas and getting my batch to a light trace before adding the fragrance, the mixing only slightly - then bam - rapid acceleration. One recipe I literally ended up with soap on a stick. A link to my recipe is below. Thank you.

A couple of things come to mind. One is the temperature of your oils? Shea butter needs to be warm enough to stay melted, above the melting point, but too hot of a mix can cause acceleration. What is the temperature of your lye/water and oils?

What fragrances are you using?

Do all of the recipes use shea butter? Are your temperatures farenheit? Shea butter is solid at temperatures less than 90F or so, but it doesn’t really sound like false trace thought.

Temperatures are in Fahrenheit and yes I have been using Shea butter in all my recipes.

My butters/oil's have been over 80 and lye/aloe vera juice was 90F today. Today's fragrance was Teakwood and Cardamom from Nature's Garden, other fragrances have been Merry Berry Christmas (first time it totally seized and was unusable as I was afraid the lye mixture did not mix well enough) and 2nd time it accelerated but I was prepared. Another fragrance was Caribbearn (NG also)

This gaming site was highly recommended to me, and finally I tried to play on this site - https://slotscity.ua/ru/slоts , and I really liked this site, because it was on this site that I was able to play a large number of cool and high-quality slot machines freely and easily! Have a nice day and try to play on this site!

Sounds like your temps and Teakwood & Cardamom behaved well today! Merry Berry Christmas can definitely be tricky—it’s good you were prepared for acceleration the second time. Caribbean seems to be more manageable, but NG fragrances can vary a lot in how they react with lye.
