I recently made two soaps a week apart. They were the exact same recipe except for the FO and mica colors. Both were cpoped overnight. The older soap on the right (made Feb 7, scented with 'daisies in bloom') has no ash except a little on top. The left soap made Feb 13 (grapefruit and bergamot) is ashing EVERYWHERE. (The back and sides of that bar are completely covered in ash) And also the yellow is discoloring. What is going on?? I used the same yellow mica (sunshine yellow from Nurture) in each soap. Also, I have used the grapefruit and bergamot several times before and not had this horrible ash problem. I always have *some* ash because I soap pretty hot in my freezing basement, but not like this!! The other difference was the left soap was done in my 28oz mold and the daisies soap was done in my 14 oz tester.
Any ideas??
