I've noticed something and just wondered if anyone else had.

I accidentally bought non-organic EVOO and made a batch of Castile. Didn't realize until I made a subsequent batch, but switched that one out before it was too late. What I noticed is that the one batch with regular EVOO went very ashy despite the alcohol I spray on top. Usually my Castile doesn't develop much ash at all. Same recipe, same CPOP, same alcohol spray.

Has anyone that soaps with organic oils notices this? Both EVOO are Kirkland brand, so should be 100% olive. Curious!?!
 
My Castile has a bad case of ash also. I am just going to steam the ash away and let it dry before packaging.
