My latest soap turned out like this - white on the bottom and yellow on the top. It was not supposed to! The yellow part is also significantly softer than the white part.
This is my recipe: Olive oil 45%, palm oil 30%, coconut oil 20%, castor oil 5%, mint and lavender EOs. 100% milk, lye concentration 31.5. TD (1/2 tsp for 600g oils) added to lye/milk solution.
Possible cuplrits:
1. I poured it quite thin and it's separated?
2. This is the 1st time I use TD and don't have any experience of what effects it can have.
3. I just noticed on the label of my coconut oil that it also contains salt, water and preservatives! Time to look for a new brand?
Any ideas? And is it usable or will I have to rebatch?
BTW it smells divine
