So, Im very new to this. The first 3 batches of soap i made came out perfect. They were nothing fancy, no colorants just EOs. I made a few more batches after that and I really crapped the bed with those. I know what happened with those. I was just to tired after working a few night shifts but still determined to make soap. Dumb idea. Anyway, this last loaf I made I made sure to follow the recipe to the T. It came to trace extremely fast before I added FO, then when cured it was all wrinkly on top. After 24 hours I cut the soap and it has been curing about a week. It feels nice, looks nice, and smells nice, I was just wondering why it traced so fast and wrinkled on top?
TIA

Rescipe: 30% Palm
35% Olive Oil
30% coconut oil
5% castor oil
.68 oz FO
water 38%
LYe concentration 27.454%
everything was just above room temp when mixed. Stick blender a couple 10 second bursts. when I realized it was coming to trace quickly I blended in the FO and poured.
