Hey guys how are you? Hope your all ok.
I've not been on for a while as I've been busy with work, but I recently made a new batch of soap after a few months brake.
But something went wrong.
I have attached pictures of my soap.
If you look you can see spots on it?!?!?
What are they? Are they the dreaded orange spots people talk of?
Is it lye?
Is it essential oil?
And will they slowly go away?
Is the soap usable?
Lots of questions lol
The recipy is as follows
35oz olive oil
14oz coconut oil
7oz lye
80ml essential oil (grapefruit)
Mixed at 110F until trace.
Left 24 hours to set in a warm place.
My other soaps are fine, and I've had soap do this to me before, I'm just curious to know what it is?
Thanks a lot
Liam
