The oils were brand new. I just opened all of them. I don't think that I am storing them right, I don't think I have enough circulation where I have them. I just didn't know if that was the only problem, or is there more too it. I have been using this recipe for a while, but I have not ever made more than I have the room to store in a good area. I have always made some let it sit for about 6 weeks and then used it and when I got low did it again. My family keeps asking for some of the soap to have and I can not keep up with everyone that is asking for it, so I was trying to make a bigger batch. I want to get it right on the storage and the recipes that hold up well, cuz on day down the road I would love to sell it, when I am ready of course. But I would love to have more to give away, cuz who better guinea pigs than family, right? But I am not even going to give them ones that stink! Oh and for the olive oil suggestion, I really love the effects of coconut oil, I just don't know why my recipe is not having a good shelve life.
