Hello! I just started making cold process soap and am enjoying experimenting! On my fourth batch of soap, something goofy happened about 5 days after cutting. It has started to get little crystals forming on the bottom and on a few bars on the cut side as well (they almost look like they are inside the soap).
This is my first milk-based soap (coconut) and of course I worry that I didn’t mix the lye up well enough. So, it has now been a week since cutting and I did the zap test, no reaction. I should be less worried, but my mind hasn’t been eased yet! Thoughts on what this may be?
Recipe:
Olive oil 46.24%
Coconut oil 27.74%
Cocoa butter 12.33%
Sweet almond oil 13.69%
Water 38%
5% super fat
(Please forgive me if this is an odd recipe! I’m just using things I already have at home right now and having fun!)
