I did the recipe through Soapcalc
20 ounces Olive
20 ounces Coconut
15 ounces Shea Butter
5 ounces grapeseed
5 ounces sunflower
8.55 ounces NaOH
22 ounces distilled water
The recipe looks pretty good to me (my skin would love it), but grapeseed and sunflower have such similar properties that I would have used either one or the other instead of both, and I would only have used 8 oz. total (instead of the 10oz combined total that you have of them). The reason why is because of how much linoleic acid they contribute to the recipe (16% in this case). To avoid DOS (dreaded orange spots, aka rancidity) it's considered best to keep the linoleic content at 15% or lower. You can monitor how much linoleic acid is in your recipe by looking at the fatty acid profile on SoapCalc.
In conjunction with the linoleic acid %, I noticed that your lye amount gives your formula an 11% superfat, which in other formulas might be perfectly fine, but for this particular formula with a 16% linoleic acid content, it provides conditions that make it a potential breeding ground for DOS. That's not to say that developing DOS in this batch is a 100% sure thing, but just that it's a possibility you should watch out for.
No fragrance
I did add some honey and yogurt right before I poured.
How much honey and yogurt did you use per pound of oil (ppo)? I ask because honey and milk products need special handling in soap because of the problems they are known for causing, such as separation and/or volcanoing- depending on how much you add, and also how hot you soap your batch. As you just found out, if things get too hot during saponification separation can occur.
Temps were about 150F when I put the lye in............Oven temp was 170 for 30 minutes.
Does the 150F temp refer to your oils or to your lye solution, or both? For future reference, soaping @ 150F in CP is considered very hot- even in batches
without honey and/or milk products.
RE: the oven temp: Oven temp for CPOP does not have to be pre-heated as high as 170F, most especially if your soaping temps are hot. For example, the very hottest I ever soap at with CP is 120F (but mostly between 110F-115F), and I CPOP it at 110F. Like most ovens, my oven does not have a specific factory setting for 110F, but I get around that by turning it on the Bake setting for only 3 minutes tops, and then
immediately turn it off right before placing my soap inside. Then I shut the oven door and leave things alone for the next 18 to 24 hours. The low residual/gradually fading heat is plenty enough to encourage full gel in my soap without causing overheating issues, even with my milk/honey soaps.
