So, I've done two soaps with two different cinnamon EOs (same recipe, same method), and both soaps are leaky. whereas my other soaps have no such issue. I used 1% cinnamon EO.

has anyone else noticed this problem?
 
Yes! My only soap that still weeps has cinnamon eo as well. I only used .5% cinnamon eo mixed with a couple fo's and it does it. I also used cocoa powder in it and thought it might be that but I have done cocoa powder in other batches and it didn't seep. I think this might be my only batch with cinnamon eo so it must be the eo.
 
omg. I'm so glad someone responded!!! I'm glad it's not just me!!! I wonder what the secret is to stop the oil slick....
 
my cut soaps don't seem sweaty anymore.... i'll have to use cinnamon in another batch and see what happens.....
