So, I made soap yesterday and got this weird result......
I've just started playing with micas and the last one I made had a little bit of a similar result but not quite so bad.
This is a pretty basic lard/co/oo/castor oil and almond oil recipe that I have made a number of times with good success. This one has micas, kaolin clay and FO. Blended everything very thoroughly. Did a cpop for the first time because I wanted to make sure it gelled.
So what happened? Are those glycerine rivers? Why is it so rough?
Also, I thought kaolin clay was a bit of a whitener. I'm surprised at how yellow the part only coloured with the clay is. All the oils were quite clear, not yellow. ?????????
