Blow

18 hours later, in case anyone's curious. The orange oil is thicker now, like lard, or maybe more like it has a matte skin on it. When I touch it with my finger it turns shiny again. The garage is about 85°F.

I had to go and check on the EO, and it's not the least bit orange! I also searched to see if I was remembering or making up that orange turns orange, and I found a SQ post on orange OE where she does say that their 10x fold turns orange...

Thanks! It was just dumb luck that I got any swirls at all because it was a new recipe and it didn't happen to start to thicken up until I was almost done. I wonder if I even emulsified it well enough. Also I did have butters, mango, shea, and cocoa, and they were starting to get cool enough...

Yay! Thanks for the reassurance! My first 2 batches also sweated and then reabsorbed or evaporated or something, but the sweat wasn't orange. I'll wait a few days to panic about it. :)

This is my 4th batch of CP soap, and my first attempt at swirl. It has only been curing 3 hours in a warm oven and seems to be sweating an orange oil (I didn't use an orange oil). I can post my recipe & process if that helps. IMG_4461 by Michelle Gaylor posted Sep 12, 2018 at 3:37 PM

Is it DOS? Sweating orange oil after 3 hours in a warm oven.
