Absolutely! I'm going to keep observing it over time. I'm also hanging onto it just in case I need it for some voodoo spell to rid me of my curse!

For a while I questioned my recipe and base oils. Perhaps my supplier sent me a particular oil from a bad batch? But then I have actually been using the same batch of oils, same recipe, same everything in the previous 10 or so batches and not had problem. And since the tan soap, I have made 6...

The pink soap is essential oils only and the tan one is a mixture of essential and fragrance oils. In the tan soap, the parts with TD and the calendula specks were unscented, yet you can see that they were also affected by the soft spots and the bright opaque colour of the TD was washed out...

Well, I've made three batches since the spotty tan coloured one and they're all ok. Same recipe, same temps, same place, same time of the day, everything. It's still a mystery! I really do appreciate all your comments, everyone. Thanks so much.

Amazing! You're the first person who seems to have experienced this besides myself. I hope the spots do fade over time, but I doubt the colour/TD would come back. Neither of the two batches contained solid butters though. I'm not a superstitious person but I'm still going with mysterious soap...

There's definitely some TD mottling going on but at the same time, there are also soft spots on the sides and edges of the soap where there is no TD at all. I haven't taken a picture, but on the plain portions of the soap, the spots look like those on the the pink one. I think it's a separate...

I'm 100% positive the pink one gelled all the way through. The spots are too inconsistent to be partial gel marks and there are some only on the edges and all different shapes and sizes. The tan one actualy does have a slight ring of partial gel, but it's completely seperate to these weird...

It happened again!! I made a successful batch after the pink one but the last batch was spotty again. Luckily because of the swirls it's not so obvious. The soap is meant to be tan with a stark white swirl (with TD) and a calendula swirl (TD and calendula specks). I used Photoshop to...

Hi there. I've been making soap for years and not experienced this problem. When I unmolded this batch of soap, it had what I thought were dark spots and patches throughout, but after slicing off a thin section and holding it against the light, I realized they are actually transluscent and not...
