Hi!

Ive dealt with soda ash on top of my soaps before but I have started making heart soaps in a silicone mold and when i pop them a few days later there is soda ash along the sides and on the bottom. How is this possible/ And preventable more importantly?!

Thanks
 
I've noticed this too on soap I've made in my wooden mold that I probably should have let sit for another day. Try keeping them in the mold a little longer?
 
I've mostly had this happen on days when it was pouring down rain or with FOs that cause silly amounts of ash (I'm looking at you, Nag Champa). Using a water discount helps.
