A year ago I made my very first batch of soap and everything went perfectly! (yeah). So just yesterday, I grabbed all my equipment from the basement, found an online soap calculator and went to work on another batch. Thing is, once I hit the trace stage with a temperature of around 125F I poured in my essential oils for fragrance and poured every drop of it into the mold without bringing up the temperature and cooking it. About an hour later I realized my mistake, but it was was too little to late..... or is it? Today I opened the mold and the soap looks and smells just fine, but it is ever so slightly tacky to the touch.

Will it still be OK after setting for a week or two, or will it be caustic from the lye?
