This has been a disappointing week for me with my soap. Can anyone please help me with my newest problem? I made this recipe yesterday:
Olive Oil - 21.2 oz.
Palm Oil - 10.6 oz.
Coconut Oil (76 degrees) - 10.6 oz.
Rice Bran Oil - 4.77 oz.
Shea Butter - 3.18 oz.
Castor Oil - 2.65 oz.
Essential Oils - Lavender 40/42, Rosemary, Bergamot EO - 3.0 oz.
Colloidal Oatmeal = 4 tablespoons
Lavender Buds
Oat Milk made with Lavender water = 20 oz.
Lye = 7.29 oz.
Titanium Dioxide and Grape Lab Color
I hope you're able to see this, because this is my first time posting a pic and don't know if I'm doing it right. You'll see that right in the center of the log is about an 1 1/2" long crack and a few smaller ones around it.
I poured at light trace - this recipe usually doesn't get much past that state for me. I've been soaping for only 5 months now and have made all of my mistakes in the past 6 days - ugh! Would appreciate any info you got.
