So, here's the soap after a couple of weeks cure. Not very Ombre, but it's soap.
@penelopejane - Surprisingly, it's not scratchy at all, so I'm pleased about that. Not oily, either! Thanks, everyone, for the tips and the encouragement!

Glad it worked out. Time makes a big difference with soap.
Also, I don’t know that glycerine added to additives is the miracle fix. If you use a lot of it - say 1.5 tsp ppo - I think it might lead to soft soap. I’m still testing this. Others might have an opinion.

@penelopejane - gotcha! I'll stick with taking out the oils from my total oils, then (until I hear the official verdict! lol)
@dixiedragon - Thanks!

Great advice from Penelopejane. I find that unless I infuse the turmeric, it is grainy, and the soap is too scratchy for me.
@Rogue-Soaper - I was surprised to find that this was not scratchy in the least after @penelopjane's comment! I don't particularly like scratchy soap (except for the bottom of my feet...lol)
