I made loaf of soap with 2 EO and Mica. After 48 hr removed it from a mold and realized that it is soft all over.
Never happened to me. I used reverse osmosis water instead of distilled and while soap was in the mold, the room temperature was cooler than usual . Could either of these facts contributed to soft soap? What are my options at this moment?
I used orange and grapefruit EO and orange mica. My soap became peach color with thin orange band around the top. Any idea what might have caused this?

If the soap didn't gel it can start out soft. Regular Orange oil tends to fade in soap. If the soap is still in the mold, I would leave it be for now. The color could still change slightly.
