Hello all. I am about 10 batches in and decided to beanch out to larger batches. This one was trouble from the start. 5% superfat Evoo, coconut, canola, 35,30,35% fragrance, 5 tsp powdered sugar for added bubbles?. 1st problem was ran out of oil after i batched the lye. Ran and got some, then my blender gave up the ghost before trace, had to finish by hand. Never really got a trace although it was batter like. Added fragrance mixed more. Poured into lined homemade column mold (pvc) must had a hole in liner because there was a puddle in a tray thankfully on the bottom. Took 48 hrs plus to unmold. Salvaged a bit in a loaf. Ive had some discoloration kind of pinkish. Is pinkish and a ring of sorts not sure where i took a left. Any advice or laughter is appreciated.

There is nothing wrong with that soap. Most likely your FO is a discoloring one and that is what made the darker skin.
I expect the rest of the soap will darken as it cures

Yum, smoked mozzarella soap! 
It looks perfectly fine to me too. Things happen when soaping, so salvaging things is one of the most important skills...

Tobacco and bay leaf, from what I remember can get a bit pinkish.
