Hi I have made a few batches of soap, some of them have ashy white patches on them, is this a concern? One of my batches has small yellow spots on it. does anyone know whats causing this and does it mean my soaps are no good?
I posted pics and recipeHello, you’re going to need to post pictures so we know what your seeing. White ash sounds like what it is. Ash. It’s generally just cosmetic and can be washed or wiped off.
Your recipe and process will help as well for trouble shooting.
The first photo shows ash.
The second, if it is the one with turmeric, is probably turmeric that didn't get blended in enough. If that one isn't the one with turmeric, it may be spots of rancidity, especially if the soap is some weeks old or older.
You don't say how old these soaps are, nor do you say how you made them, so just guesses on my part.
