Hi everybody! I am very new to soaping, have only made 3 batches so far. The last batch I made seems to have something odd about it but I haven't had any luck researching it. It looks like there are swirls of ungelled soap within the gelled soap?
The recipe I used was: 6 oz lye 14.4 oz water 10 oz palm oil 10 oz coconut oil 24 oz olive oil
I cooled the lye water to 120 degrees.
I split the batch into 3, one of which I left as is and the other two I used to test an EO and a colorant. The two with extra ingredients seem fine, but the "plain" one looks like what you see in the picture. I did accidentally add .1 oz extra olive oil, but since the other 2 seem fine I figured that wasn't the issue. Did I maybe not blend enough? Is this soap safe? Thank you so much!
