I tried my first batch of soap, with olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, goats milk, honey and orange essential oil. After 28 hours I tired to unmold it, and here is how it came out - what causes it to be crumbly like that? One of the bars looks lovely, but the others are like this :(

Are you missing an oil? You said in the original post you used palm, but I don't see it in the recipe you listed.
I ran your recipe through soap calc & you've got too much lye, by almost an ounce.
