I have been making soap with the same recipe for 2 years, today when I took the soap out of the mold it looked different. Out of curiosity I tried the zap test on several bars and I got a good tingle. Then I used PH strips and it was purple the color guide placed it between 11 and 14, (fairly useless) What I don't understand is why? This hasn't happened to me before, could it be a false trace caused it? And the soap is 24 -48 hours old, is there anything I can do with it? It's Grapefruit and Honey Goat Milk Soap. The irony is it was a 2 step batch, (One Solid, split and remolded, new batch swirled) and both batches zapped. Oh and just wondering could the fragrance or essential oil play a part? Thanks for any help.
