hello to all and would like to thank everyone for creating this forum! this is my first post so here it goes:
i made this soap recently, but i might have over done it a bit, as i added:
beeswax (2%)
honey (1,5tbsp -yep i now, way too much) which i mixed with titanium dioxide (4 tsp) and yogurt with some oil and added to the oil (1kg) before adding the lye ,
the result: a bar that is very spotty, has light small spots, but also white streaks which i assume are there because of the titanium.
so does anyone know what could have caused the light small spots? is it the honey? combination of the additives?
also what can i do to better dissolve the titanium. should i blend it in a a coffee grinder first? dissolve it in water?
one photo was taken about 20h after pouring into a pipe, when i cut it (the outside which didnt go through gel phase, so its a lighter colour), the spots were starting to form.
other was taken a few days later.
thank you, Anna
