BUT I HAD TO THROW OUT THE ENTIRE BATCH OF 65 oz Christmas lotion that I made ...I also followed the EXACT INSTRUCTIONS and all I could smell was this HEAVY CHEMICAL/SOUR god awful STENCH ,even after a week ,hoping it would eventually mellow out,,BUT IT WORSENED.
SO UPSET WITH LOSING MY EXPENSIVE FRAGRANCE OILS AND I HAD TO ORDER MORE INGREDIENTS....

"This just may be the cure for the Vanilla discolor"
COMMENTS: You definitely need to use a mask when working with this (it has SUCH a noxious smell out of the bottle), but the scent goes away in the finished product. It has been a lifesaver in letting me sell lotions with a high vanilla content!

"Works great! "
COMMENTS: For anyone who LOVES LOVES LOVES Lush's "Twilight" (aka: "Sleepy") scent, I DARE you to smell WSP's AMAZING "Black Amber & Lavender" FO & tell me that doesn't smell remarkably similar to it!! So when WSP offered their exquisite "Shea Butter & Aloe" lotion base on sale last week, I couldn't resist making a frivolous batch of lotion all for me with this OUTSTANDING fragrance (and base)! This Vanilla Color Stabilizer for lotions & washes ensures my awesome new lotion won't turn brown or tan on me while I enjoy the entire pound of it all to my selfish little self! I'm very happy with this product because it does the job, and the price is great! If it's imperative that your handmade goodies don't darken due to vanilla content in your fragrances, this VCS is a MUST! I HIGHLY recommend it!

"Really works great!"
COMMENTS: This is a must have item for me! I use a lot of fragrances that contain vanilla, so to keep my soaps and lotions from looking gross I use this, and it has been working great! Definitely don't smell it straight from the bottle though. It stinks! And its strong! My sister was helping me make some lotions and she took a big whiff and very quickly regretted it. Lol. The good thing though is the smell does NOT linger in your products. If you want to keep your great smelling products looking colorful or even just bright white, you will want to grab some of this.
• Keeps my products the color I want them • Easy to use
• Its expensive

"A necessary evil"
COMMENTS: While this product (vanilla color stabilizer) has consistently done it’s job of preventing discoloration in all the products I’ve used it in, I hate using it. The chemical smell is so potent, and it’s ruined some of those products. I couldn’t sell them because the chemical smell came through and was both unfixable, and unacceptable. In MP soap, it’s been fine, but creams...It just stinks. Period.
COMMENTS: I didn't have any stabilizer for my soap so I tried this one for lotion and it worked.

"Vanilla Stabilizer"
COMMENTS: Works great for keeping my lotions from turning brown. Please make sure you wear a mask when using. The scent is very stronger out of the bottle though it doesn't affect the fragrance.
COMMENTS: It does keep the browning at a minimum BUT you cannot get rid of the horrible stench that this products emits! Mixed it properly but higher vanilla content requires a higher ratio and it totally overpowers the fragrance scent.

"Performs very well"
COMMENTS: I use this every time I scent my products with a scent that contains vanilla.
It works wonderfully! My products never turn brown or discolored
COMMENTS: Many fall fragrances contain vanilla and this is absolutely needed for lotions and body washes that have those fragrances. It really does prevent the browning you get from using the fragrances that have a lot of vanilla. Not many people like brown lotions and body washes unless they are chocolate scented.

COMMENTS: The product works. The soaps have not turned brown. The smell is daunting but goes away quickly. It didn't alter the consistancy of the base. I am happy to find something to stop the brown
COMMENTS: The fragrance is too strong which almost overpowers the aroma in the fragrance oil. Even after waiting the recommended time, it still smells strong. It definitely stabilizes the color but the odor is too much.
