Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and excited to have an account! I'm writing because I was making a cold process soap and as soon as I added my essential oil blend into my batter it started overheating and seizing. My oil blend was clove, patchouli, ylang ylang, and jasmine. Reading up on my mistakes after the fact I now know that I soaped too hot, addded my essential oils during trace and not into the oils, and florals and spices often accelerate trace anyway. What I'm wondering now is exactly what happened and if I should rebatch or hot process? Is it safe to use? For some reason my picture won't show up but it looked like lanolin in a pot very gel like and thick also had some harder mashed potato looking chunks.
