Hi, I am quite new to cold process soap making and sometimes have trouble identifying if the transparent strokes in my soaps are due to glycerin rivers, air bubbles or just not enough colourants. I recently made a 2 layered soap with orange, yellow and white swirls at the bottom, and a pure white layer on top. Attached are the photos. As you can see, there are transparent streaks in at the bottom layer, as well as in between the 2 layers. The bottom layer is supposed to be a mixture of orange, yellow and white. However, the yellow colour is totally gone - presumably because I didn’t add enough colourants.
In this case, are the transparent streaks glycerin rivers or is it from the yellow layer or are they air bubbles? (The top layer was too traced when I poured so there might have been lots of air bubbles)
Any tips here will be very much appreciated, thank you!
