I'm new to soap making and I'm not sure what to do about this batch of CP soap I made. I was making a 2lb batch of coffee soap and everything was going great until I added the fragrance oil. I brought the batch to light trace, added the brewed and dried coffee grounds and the fragrance oil and it seized immediately. I used a whisk to try to blend the FO as best I could and plopped it in my loaf mold. It was a gloppy mess and some oil rested on top ;( I let it sit for 36 hours or so and released it from the mold. I had some pooling of oil on the bottom. I cut it and it has been sitting for two days. It just doesn't look that great and I was considering trying to re-batch it so get a better look. Any suggestions??? Do I have to let the soap cure for 4-6 weeks before grating it and re-batching it? Do I need to let it cure after re-batching it? Like i said I'm brand new and I'm a little confused about re-batching Thanks in advance!!
The recipe I used:
6.5oz palm oil
6.5oz coconut oil
7.5oz olive oil
1oz castor oil
7oz distilled water
3.1oz lye
1oz coffee scented fragrance oil
1Tbs brewed, dried coffee grounds
