Hi everyone my name is Ryan and I'm new to the forum.
I've made quite a few batches with cold process soap and have had some amazing results where nothing bad happens, the scent is strong, and anyone that smells it wants to buy it.
Unfortunately I've run into some problems.
Every batch of soap I make on the inside of the bars get these little white lumps.
For this batch that I have made I did a 34% olive oil/33% coconut oil/33% lard combo. I've had much success with this in the past but now it is not working.
For most batches I would ensure that the temperature was around 115-125 degree temp range to make my batches and have had this white lump problem.
So I tried making the soap at around 100 degrees and the pictures I've posted are the results.
I've tried using different brands of fragrance/essential oils and have had this happen. For this particular batch I used brambleberrys lemongrass essential oil. Before making this batch I used brambleberrys lye and fragrance calculator and followed it to the T.
I'm sure you pros out there will spot what this is and help me out.
Looking forward to your responses. Happy Soaping
