I was making a brine bar with between 20%-25% salt. When it reached trace I added essential oils at 3 percent. Made the mistake of using g blender to mix in and the soap went really thick and I could not pour it. I tried spooning in the mixture and pressing down to eliminate bubbles and hoped it would settle overnight. I tried to remove one of the bars and it just crumbled. Is there any way I can rescue this batch.
I have previously used the soap recipe with no issues, the only difference was adding the essential oils. This was the first time i tried this combination of oils (elemi, cedarwood, peru balsam and ylangylang).
(It was a bad day for me soap wise. I tried a hot process soap, but forgot that I wasn't supposed to be adding salt to the water - went on auto pilot - and didn't realise until it wasn't turning the right texture. Rescued it by adding more water, so was usable today.)
