Dear soap makers!
I made a batch of Castile soap back in October and then have put it in a shoe box, stowed it away into a closet and forgot all about it to let the soap age. I have since pulled it out and decided to inspect it. Apart from some DOE on the surface, there is a troubling gray discoloring on the inside of my soap which I cannot figure out. I have provided a picture of the cut bar of soap for reference - does anyone know what might have caused it and if the soap is still safe to use? The ingredients that went into this are Olive oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Water and Rosemary Oleoresin Extract.
Many thanks!
