Hello! I have been making soap for some time. However, CP soap is something I don’t normally do, and most my experience is with Hot Process. I’ve only done cold process a few times previously. My soap always turns out to be good soap, but I get an opaque look in the middle with a solid ring around the outside. After what I believe is the gelmphase the soap never returns to the solid color I’ve seen, but looks like jelly in the center and solid color around the outside edge.
I’ve recently acquired a large silicone mold and built a box with a lid. Today I tried a new batch, and I’m wondering if during cure/ insulation/ gel phase of its normal for the soap to discolor to an opaque look. I seem to have the entire mold doing that this time, but will the colors return to normal?
Attacked is a picture pre-lid and being wrapped in a towel. I know you aren’t supposed to open the box up after but I did take a quick peak. The entire thing looks,”gelled” but in the past my soap always stays that way, and colors never return. Can some help me understand this and let me know how to prevent this from turning my soap into this oddnopaque look. Thanks.
