So I think I have ran into my first batch with a lye issue! I am assuming that is what these little tiny spots are. thank goodness it was only a one pound batch. Even though its small I believe I would like to rebatch it. Here is my recipe:
Apricot Kernal Oil: 6.67%
Macadamia Nut Oil: 6.67%
Coconut Oil: 26.67%
Olive Oil: 13.33%
Palm Oil: 46.67%
Lye: 27.494%
Coconut Milk: 38%
Superfat: 5%
This was my first time with coconut milk and I made sure it was frozen first and then slowly mixed the lye. I did not add the next batch of lye until the temp was below 100 degrees F. I also added .5 oz FO and soaped oils at 92 degrees F and Lye at 85 degrees F. I also left it uncovered so the coconut milk would not burn. So if I rebatch would adding a small amount of distilled water fix this problem?
