Hi there! First post and first time making cold process soap.
This is my first batch which didn't go all that terribly but as you can see it has an mottled colouring and I'd be very grateful if I could get some advice for next time. I have a feeling it has something to do with the insulation.
Here's the recipe I used:
12 oz (340g) of cold, clean water
125g of sodium hydroxide
1lb (454g) olive oil
10oz (284g) coconut oil
6oz (170g) palm oil
I also used 5% FO
I poured my mix into a wooden mould, covered with a towel and left for 24 hours.
