You've all be so helpful!
I unmolded my Aleppo soap the day before yesterday. I saw signs that it had partially gelled, but didn't have time to investigate. Today I had a better look and I'm not pleased. The bars are chalky on the outside and a deeper green in the middle. I used 80% olive oil and 20% Laurel Berry Oil, and put it into individual molds.
I'd like to rebatch. How? When? What do I do? I think I like the chalky color better for these bars - it is closer to the traditional look of the soap to my mind. But is that even possible? I'll settle for an even color, whichever it is.
