Beeswax in soap

[MissMori]

As the mix cools, it does so from the outside in. When you stir, you are stirring the cooler oils on top back into the warmer oils in the center.

I soap around 110 degrees since I use beeswax.

The beeswax I purchase says the melting point is around 61-65C which is 142-149F. Won't yours starts to solidify at 110?

MissMori pointed out that a skin will form which is what happening to mine when I let it cool a bit. Thinking it was wrong I keep zapping it in the microwave to ensure a clear solution throughout.

It won't solidify at 110 degrees as the melting point of the whole mixture changes. I just can't soap any lower than that.

Thanks Soapbuddy and MissMori. This clears up a lot. Now I'm keeping my fingers cross and hoping the spoilt batch still can be used. Now it has some parts looking lumpy with ashy bits and some parts smooth. Will do pH test after 2 days.
