    Oakmoss Absolute in cp soap

    I want to blend Oakmoss with Amber Core, and coumarin. Im thinking of ordering oakmoss absolute (low atranol) from perfumersworld. Should I be using the low atranol or should I order the pure oakmoss? Also apparently oakmoss has stability issues in soap, is this true? Thanks!

    What are these circular formations/bubbles?

    It cant be condensation drops because the side you are looking at is the side that was cut, those were inside the bar, not on top. I used eucalyptus essential oil for this bar.

    What are these circular formations/bubbles?

    What are these little circle things in this bar? My guess is the salt does something to it, but I'm unsure. It has olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, shea butter, kaolin clay and sea salt.
