Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I made Easter soap and this was my first larger batch 4 lbs. Here are some pictures. It just broke my heart when I cut it and there are Glycerin Rivers all over. I understand that they are only aesthetic and don't effect the soap, still I'm getting discouraged with this
Here is my recipe;
Olive 25%
Palm Kernal 20%
rice bran 10%
shea butter 10%
lard 30%
castor 5%
BB kumquat and mango FO
colors
BB tangerine wow
BB Fizzy lemonade
WPS Neon Purple play date
WPS Neon Pink Pleasure
I soaped at approx. 120 F
And Gelled on a heating pad set on low.
Am I soaping to hot? Gelling to hot? These are Glycerin Rivers aren't they?
Why is this happening
