Teach Soap

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using coconut milk in CP soap. I made a batch by dissolving lye in water, adding to oils and then adding the coconut milk. The bars are 4weeks out, no zaps, tested a small piece and all seems good; however, there are what appears to be very small bubbles in the middle of the bars...at first I was worried it might be undissolved lye because I did use a smaller amount of water to dissolve the lye but if this were the case, I should get a zap correct? I made a second batch in a different mold and still have the little bubbles. I am being careful with my blender not to intro bubbles when mixing...

So it seems to be just an aesthetic issue but I was wondering if this is perhaps something coconut milk does? Are there any suggestions for working with coconut milk?

Thanks!

It's possible that you introduced bubbles via your stick blender or you poured at a thick trace, trapping the bubbles inside. Since you say it's only on the inside, I don't think it's from soap overheating.
