Definitely need to stir that palm (I posted in the CP section) before I use it again. Thankfully this is for personal/family use! (click for bigger)



Also need to practice product photography but I was going to quick lol
 
Gosh, that looks fine. I see 10x worse soaps on etsy.
I've had soaps do that & it reabsorbs sometimes. I try to soap a fraction hotter to avoid the stearic you get from palm & those hard ois. Also stirring the oils before the lye goes in I find is the biggest factor.
Though in saying that........
Are you sure its not air bubbles????
 
Thank you! I've had oodles of air bubbles (and this one has a couple) in many batches, this is a new thing for me - I'm using PO from a 5 gallon bucket and I need to melt it down and stir it up well. If it happens again AFTER I've done that, I'll soap hotter (I'm in a much, much colder and dryer climate than before).
 
I think your soap looks lovely and I'd definitely be tempted to buy!

I don't have a problem with air bubbles (if your soap had them), as we make homemade soap!
