I have a few batches that have palm oil in them that have white small white spots specked throughout the bar. I have found that they are stearic acid spots. Are they caused by the oil not being hot or warm enough? The palm oil. I use spectrum organic shorting. Ingredients are pressed palm oil. I usually mix when oil is 100-115 degrees. Also how do you prevent this from happening with milk soaps when you need the temp lower. I just wrap my mold up, would putting it in a warm oven help? Thank
Also what would a good alternative to palm oil be ? I will add that I won't use lard or Crisco, we don't use any soy in our house. We also avoid corn as well.
