So I went ahead and did a little at home experiment with botanicals that are typically added to melt and pour soap to see if any one of them would mold. I know some of these are fine for hot process or cold process but it's completely different than melt and pour soap. I used Rose petals, Lavender buds, Safflower petals, Cornflower, jasmine, calendula and just for fun I tried hibiscus leaves (tea) and some sea kelp granules. I was defiantly surprised on what flowers had mold and what ones were safe to use in melt and pour soap. This will answer the age old question of why is my melt and pour soap turning brown?! Don't add some of these flowers to your soap. Enjoy!

Don't forget to leave a comment and let me know what other kind of additives to melt and pour you would like me to do an experiment on.
