	Shirley from Port Carbon Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works great! I made a vanilla whipped body butter and used this in it. The color has stayed nice and white without any color change. I will continue to use this in all my products that have vanilla in it.

	Tracy from East Peoria Used in Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Stabilizer A great product the keeps my products from turning brown.

	corena from Laton Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Vanilla stabilizer Not worth it in the long run

	Edna-Mae from Jacksonville Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
An absolute must for fall fragrances! 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.

	jennifer from bridgewater Used in Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Lotion Bars & Sticks, Lotions, Creams & Butters
A must have So far this works very well and is needed in anything that has vanilla in it. I make lotions and scrubs with this.

	nicole from holtsville Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Worked great Made a lotion using a scent that had 16.5% vanilla content. Here we are about two weeks later and the lotion is still A pretty green color! No brown here!!

	Valerie from McKinney Used in Bath Fizzies & Salts
Great Product This is a great product, does what it says and didn't alter the scent of my bath bombs at all.

	CYNTHIA from BATON ROUGE Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
no more browning This vanilla color stabilizer works very well. does what it is supposed to do. Will purchase again.

	M E from Firestone Used in Soap - Melt & Pour, Bath Fizzies & Salts
Works As Stated 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

	Rebecca from fountain inn Used in Lotion Bars & Sticks, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works great I have used several times and it keeps my lotions from browning. One fragrance still turns a little over time but its not horrible.

	Tanya M from Bolingbrook Used in Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs
Too Strong 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.

	Sondarya from Andover Used in Soap - Melt & Pour, Soap - Cold Process, Liquid Soap & Washes
Product color saver! Gives best results where vanilla is in the FO.

	Daina from LA PORTE Used in Soap - Cold Process, Bath Fizzies & Salts
still turned brown I had hopes that this vanilla color stabilizer would work better. I first used it as directed in a bubble bar recipe from this web site. It looked great for about a month but now my pretty confetti cake bubble bars have brown spots. The same is happy with my cold process soap. Since the vanilla content in your confetti cake fragrance is only about 3% which is lower than a lot of birthday cake type fragrances, I thought it would have been able to prevent the browning.

	George from Navarre Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Fantastic Really great stabiliser, worked extremely well in my cream!

	Briana from Long Beach Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Lip Care, Lotion Bars & Sticks, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Needed in most of my formulas Need this to put in the beautiful pigments Crafter's Choice has. Cannot live without this if I'm using vanilla fragrants

	Rachelle from Colorado Springs Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
It's Working! I started using this with lotions that have over .05% Vanilla Content. It is working to keep them from turning brown! Before, some of my lotions changed color and I explained it was due to the vanilla content, but now I don't have to explain.

	patricia a from ridley park Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Lotions, Creams & Butters

	Priscilla from San Antonio Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters

	Mary from Crestline Used in Hair Care, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Crafters Choice™ Vanilla Color Stabilizer - Lotion This keeps my lotions from turning brown from the vanilla content. Love it. It works great.

	Beverly from Bay City Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
very good This product really stinks OOB. Scent disappears in finished product, thank goodness. Works well in keeping vanilla dislocation at bay.

	Kristina from Twentynine Palms Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Helps alot I love using this when I want my lotion to not change color and I am using an FO that has Vanilla in it, customers to not understand why their lotion is brown when it says vanilla.

	Melissa from Las Vegas Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Body Sprays & Perfume, Face Care, Hair Care, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Gets the job done This product works very well as promised. I took one star off because I would like to have the ingredients in it. Due to it's performance, I can live with just call it "fragrance".

	Arlene from Copiague Used in Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Awesome product I use this in my lotions and scrubs to keep the desired color when using fragrances with a vanilla content. Works like a charm.

	Xiao from Lawrenceville Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Must have! It is a must have product if you need to have color stabilized.

	Michelle from Indianapolis Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Perfect Works perfectly, used with an FO that was 4.3% vanilla and my color didn't change at all. Will be purchasing again.

	SCOTT from HUNTLEY Used in Soap - Melt & Pour
Works fine Used this for a high content vanilla FO soap that I wanted to keep white. I was surprised that the FO and stabilizer turns like rust color right before pouring it into the while soap - but the soap has remained white!

	CarolAnn from CARLSBAD Used in Soap - Shave Shampoo, Liquid Soap & Washes, Bath Fizzies & Salts, Body Sprays & Perfume, Face Care, Lotions, Creams & Butters, Massage Oils, Mineral Makeup, Room & Linen Sprays
Vanilla Color Stabilizer-Lotions- Washes This product is wonderful. It keeps all vanilla products from discoloring. The other stabilzers for bar soap does the same thing. Please try them. Nothing else can do the job.

	Gloria from Richmond hill Used in Soap - Melt & Pour, Soap - Cold Process
Works great Works grate to prevent discoloration

	Barbara from Fairview Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
vanilla stablizer lotions and washes I was uncertain whether I needed this product for my lotions but I used it and the color stayed true.

	Jeanette from ACCOKEEK Used in Liquid Soap & Washes
So Far So Good!! Couldn't figure out why my bath gels were turning brown and little did I know I needed this component to keep the vanilla ingredient in the product from turning brown. Good investment!

	Jana from APACHE JUNCTION Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Great product... I LOVE USING THIS WHEN MAKING MY LOTIONS AND HAND CREAMS THAT CONTAIN VANILLA.

	Elizabeth from Glencoe Used in Lotion Bars & Sticks, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Mixes Well What can I say it did exactly what it said it would do. Mixes easy, and keeps my products from turning funny colors. Will buy again.

	Barbara from Centerburg Used in Soap - Melt & Pour, Soap - Cold Process, Soap - CPOP
Great product. Really helps tone down the brown that vanilla causes.

	veronica from BRYAN Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Excellent Worked out perfect in my lotions. Mixes in easy.

	Ashley from Fayetteville Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Amazing Works perfectly in my Body Butters and doesnt allow the formula to turn brown. Definetly a must have at all times.

	Melody from Aurora Used in Liquid Soap & Washes
good stabilzer I use this in my lotions and bubble baths. So many FO contain Vanilla that you really need to keep this on hand in your soap kitchen.So far it hasn't let me down.

	Deborah from South Bend Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Disappointed This product did help in keeping the color from turning brown. That being said, it changed the smell of my FO. Was disappointed in this area.

	Samantha from Cornelia Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotion Bars & Sticks, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Fantastic! Has not failed me, works brilliantly, absolutely love this product!

	Teronica from DETROIT Used in Soap - Melt & Pour, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works the same I have used this in both Lotion bases and Melt N Pour bases, did not see a different. Just be mindful of your FO %.

	Kimberly from Las Vegas Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
works! Works very well in everything I've made.

	Wendy from Nazareth Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works great I use this in lotion and liquid soap and I don't get any browning at all!

	chris from fredericktown Used in Soap - Melt & Pour
Works I've had good luck with this stuff. Has always kept my soaps from turning color

	Kim from San Diego Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Excellent product I use this in my body butter and it works like a charm!

	Ramona from Eight Mile Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
A Must for Vanilla FOs Had no idea why my Baby Bee MP soaps had a creamy brown tint. I was so new at soap making with FO's I had no idea FO with any Vanilla in them turned brown! This time I ordered the right V Stabilizer for my washes and lotions

	Brian from Boerne Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
The product you didnt know you needed! It works great with FOs from Crafter's Choice, but with ones from other suppliers who don't inform you of the % vanilla in their FO, its hit or miss. Also, when you use it in recipes that mix yellow liquid dye to get the right color, it seems that instead of turning brown, the yellow separates inconsistently over time to discolor in patches.

	Seeta from Toronto Used in Body Sprays & Perfume, Lotions, Creams & Butters, Room & Linen Sprays
So far so good! It sometimes takes a while for vanilla to turn in lotions… so hard to tell. But it has held up thus far and am happy. I will also try in other product types. I love Crafter's Choice's videos - easy to work with. Warning (and as Crafter's Choice also says)… don't sniff it - it is strong!

	Melissa from HERNANDO Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Wonderful This stabilizer works very well in my homemade liquid hand soap and my body creams that have a fragrance containing vanilla! My pineapple coconut fragrance has vanilla because of the coconut fragrance I add. So far I've had no discolorations. Great product!

	Shannon from Georgetown Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Rescue remedy This product works great. I was having trouble with lotions turning brown and when I started using this I haven't had that problem anymore. I have alot of happy customers now. You have to be careful not to use to much or it will thin the lotion.

	Samantha from Westlake Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Prevents soaps from browning Don't be concerned about the scent when you first open the bottle, it goes away in the soap and this product does a great job of keeping your lotions and washes from changing due to vanilla in fragrances! :)

	Thomas from Mora Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Does the job! Don't be put off by the scent that this has when mixing it with your fragrance oil as it does disappear in the finished product. I was a little off put by the smell when I first used it, but it has not proven to be an issue. It definitely does do its job and prevents the nasty browning of vanilla!

	Linda from Newton Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
One of those must have tools of the trade This product has worked very well for me. It does have a strong odor out of the bottle but that goes away when mixed with the fragrance and incorporated into the lotion. The fragrance comes through very nicely. Make sure you follow the directions in using it. This will be a required item on my shelf.

	Andrea from Chesapeake Used in Soap - Shave Shampoo, Liquid Soap & Washes, Exfoliants & Sugar Scrubs, Lotion Bars & Sticks
I left and came running back! When I first tried this product i was disapointed because of the extreme odor (although, the odor goes away with finished product), and the high price. I went to another supplier and purchased a stabilizer that was odorless and VERY inexpensive. Well....Im sorry I wasted my money on the other suppliers stabilizer! It simply did not work as well, I watched a batch of shower gel turn brown before my eyes with the competitors stabilizer so I decided to add Crafters Choice stabilizer to the same batch and viola...turned white! Worth the money for better end results!

	Heather from Mosheim Used in Lotion Bars & Sticks, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works! Make sure you follow the directions and it works great! Will purchase again!

	Christina from Lady Lake Used in Liquid Soap & Washes
Seems to work.... I have to be honest, although I use this in my washes that have high vanilla content, I have never had issues with unwanted discoloration even without using it. I will say that it is easy to work with, just blend with your fragrance right before incorporating into your base or recipe, and you are good to go! Has no distinguishable effect on intended fragrances at all.

	Crystal from STOVER Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Vanilla Color Stabilizer - Lotions - Washes When first starting out I didn't know you had to use VCS and wasted a ton of money on products that turned brown or the colors ran together and faded. I am amazed at how this product works. I did not know there was a different kind for lotions until recently so you will need to buy both if you are doing M&P and Lotions.

	Samantha from North Las Vegas Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Great for lotions and body butter Great product for lotions and body butters. Mixes well with fragrances, doesn't alter the scent.

	Lisa from Orland Pk Used in Soap - Melt & Pour
Works great, never an after smell I use this with melt and pour soap and my colors stay true. It does smell strong out of the bottle but once mixed with the fragrance oil, it begins to go away and is completely undetectable in the finished product.

	Janita from Parkin Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Easy to Use and Measure I am so glad Crafter's Choice carries this product. When I use it, I have no worries about my fragrances that contain vanilla yellowing (or browning--yuck!) my product. Mixes easily with fragrances and won't cause soap to seize.

	Heather from La Crosse Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
No discoloring! This is a must have for my lotions! I have had some on the shelf for 3 months (Buttercream frosting lotion) and it still hasn't turned colors!

	kathryn from Decatur Used in Lotion Bars & Sticks, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works great, a must for lotions with vanilla This stuff is awesome. I love that i can get my lotions back to that creamy white color instead of brown.

	belinda from barrington Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Great Product I started making lotions and I use a lot of different fragrances that have vanilla so this is a must have product.

	JUDY from EASTON Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Excellent Great products! really helps keeping the lotions white.

	Lisa from Palmer Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works well! So far everything I've used this with has kept it's original color. Will be using this product for all of my washes and lotions. Easy to use and works great!

	Kristy from Surprise Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works but don't expect miracles I use this and most of the time it does quite a good job of cutting down on the browning of products. Having said that, there are products you use a 1:1 ration like "pink sugar" and it still turns brown anyway. Some products just have too much vanilla to expect no turn. I've often thought I could add more stabilizer but then it would thin out my lotion too much. So you have choices to have brown lotion or thin lotion...wasn't much of a choice for me.

	Lauren from Middletown Used in Soap - Melt & Pour
A must have The only stabilizer I will use. I couldn't be in business without it.

	angela from MEMPHIS Used in Soap - Melt & Pour
Good Product! I love that you carry this product because I'm not able to find it locally. As a new soapmaker imagine the horror I felt to see that my beautiful loaf turned brown. I did some research, found I needed stabilizer and I came right here to this site because I knew if I needed it....you all would have it. I made more loaves using the stabilizer and now I can rest easy knowing they will keep their color.

	angela d from chillicothe Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
stabilizer I hate when my lotions turn brown/ This brought it back to new love it

	Denise from Vancouver Used in Soap - Melt & Pour
Easy Works well. Yes, chemical smell OOB, but I don't really care. Once it's in the product, the chemical smell is gone. The important thing is no more vanilla brown.

	Pam from Hale Used in Lotions, Creams & Butters
Keeps everthing from turning brown! This product is awesome. It keeps anything with vanilla from turning brown. Esp. like that your fragrance descriptions have vanilla % listed.

	Mariselys from Jasper Used in Soap - Cold Process, Soap - Hot Process
Vanilla Stabilizer Excellent. Works great for soap. Definitely will be ordering more.

	Mary from Las Vegas Used in Liquid Soap & Washes, Hair Care, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Must have! must have to keep product color from turning brown.

	Debra from Aldrich Used in Soap - Melt & Pour, Hair Care
Works Great I really like the vanilla stabilizer used in my hair conditioner and melt and pour soap. It keeps my products from turning dark. It did not change the consistency of my products.

	Mary from Summerville Used in Soap - Cold Process, Lotions, Creams & Butters
Works in everything I use this in pretty much everything and it works extremely well. It definitely combats the discoloration due to the vanillan content.

	Christina from Fox River Grove Used in Soap Products
GREAT for HP soap! I make HP lye soap. I sell it outdoors mostly. I can make beautiful vanilla cupcakes that sit out exposed to air and UV, and they stay cream colored, unless they are in direct sun, then they get a little golden. Prevents browning at least 6 months or more. Can't live without it!!! Works much better for me than the other vanilla stabilizer.

	Deb from Monroeville Used in Bath Products
I like the way the product works....but .. Not fond of the smell...I think it takes something away from the scent it is used with...even the next day....I like it better in soap..not too crazy about it in body Wash...but I do use it when needed...maybe it is just me ...but the smell lingers in Body Wash...

	Monica from Brooklyn Used in Bath Products
"YES WE CAN" Use a a general anti browning agent. I had a wonderful suprise when it turn my brown formula back to clear right before my eyes. The secret is to mix it into the same phase with the product that causes the browning. In my case it was the water phase.

	Holly from Keller Used in Soap Products
Amazing! I bought this because of the reviews. In my mind, the ultimate test of this product was to use it in a coconut cream pie scented soap. So I used it and I can hardly believe how white the bar of soap is. I have used the vanilla stabilizer, and this blew it away. Please don't ever stop carrying this product! Thanks!

	Michelle from Avon Used in Soap Products
This one is a keeper I highly recommend this one over the vanilla color stabilizer. Even though this one says in the description that it is for lotions and liquid washes, when you receive the bottle, the label also states MP soap. I bought both because the descriptions gave me the understanding that this one was for lotions and liquid washes, and the other was for MP soap. Anyway, they both have the same directions for use so I compared them, making several pairs of MP soap using the same fragrances, colors, and even clear. I don't know why the vanilla color stabilizer gets such good reviews because every one of those turned color on me and the soaps I made with this one held their color perfectly and the clear one stayed perfectly clear. This one is definitely a keeper, great product. By the way I but lots and lots of products from Crafter's Choice and I have been absolutely pleased with all of their items, except for the vanilla color stabilizer.

	Lynda from BIRMINGHAM Used in Bath Products
A MUST HAVE This keeps my soaps and lotions from turning brown. It has a strong odor out of the bottle but that fades quickly. If you make anything with Vanilla for Bath and Body, you must use this.

	Michelle from Tamaqua Used in Bath Products
The cure! Thank goodness for this product! Totally takes care of the browning problem if used as directed. Yes, the smell is off-putting at first but completely goes away after the product dries. Be careful though, it has the tendancy to change the color of some product dyes.

	Nanette from Charlottesville Used in Bath Products
Gotta have it! I have never had any problem with this product. It must be used exactly as directed. The odor is completely gone after the finished product sits for a few hours. I wouldn't use vanilla based fragrance oils in lotions and soaps without it.

	Carol from Merkel Used in Bath Products
This works in my Secret Recipe Yes, it stinks but it worked so much better for me than the Vanilla color Stabilizer. I can't make my secret recipe without this. The scent fades after the product is dry. Please keep this one.

	ELIZABETH from MONTGOMERY Used in Bath Products
Works well Works very well but I personally prefer the Stabilizer over this product.
