Hi everyone,
I made this soap yesterday and it has this strange crackled look to it if you look closely (hope the picture is good enough). The little cracks look translucent.
I did not keep the soap warm in order to gel. It has coconut milk in it so I put it briefly in the fridge to keep the temperature down. After molding it had a temperature of about 110-115F.
Anybody have input on what could have happened?
I was so annoyed because I used a new silicone mold for the first time and the bottom of the loaf stuck to the mold! Will definitely add salt or sodium lactate to this recipe next time and throw in the freezer before unmolding.
