Just wanted to add my suggestion as to the solid salt soaps. Don't even try to grate them, just crush them as much as you can. They can't be grated even if you try. Trust me, I did and all I got for my trouble was hands that were useless for DAYS.
Also, I ended up making another batch of the same soap only without the salt, and added 2 tsp ppo of Greek yogurt to it, THEN added the crumbled salt soap.
I made half the amount of the salt soap recipe. So if your failed recipe is 10 lbs, make 5 lbs (w/o scent oc). Your eo's will carry over actually, not as strongly, but the yogurt will not only make the batter de-celerate, but will help the scent stick around.
Eta: I add the yogurt only AFTER I get trace on the remedial soap batch. Otherwise you'll be SB for HOURS.
I averted 2 disasters like yours doing it this way because I seem to like banging my head against walls to make sure they're hard. Go me. 🙄
