Hi, my charcoal soap has turned crumbly. Is it excess of SL ? ..

Checked the pH it is normal.. did zap test again it's only soapy. Can it be excess of eucalyptus oil ? I use 4% for scenting ..
 
Were you working with low temperatures? I have had that issue when working with low temperatures and possibly had false trace. I forced gel in the oven and that fixed it

I don't remember. But I know I did not pop it into my cooler Box

Thank you for the quick reply. Now I am just doing the HP rebatch ..let's see
 
I've had that happen to me before. If you're interested, for future batches, you can read here what advice I got.

I wonder now if it's the amount of charcoal.....
