I made this two days ago and it came out kind of oily. The portion is almost transparent/greyish. When I was making it, it seemed fine, until I looked at it 24hours later. Should I have not gelled it?

I used 10 oz of Cocnut, palm and Olive and 3oz of safflower and castor. Did I use a bad combo?

I hope this picture comes through well.

Thanks

You need to post your pic online at one of the photo places like Photobucket. Then you copy/paste the URL here.

FO = fragrance oil
EO = essential oil

Thanks Soap buddy. I just figured it out. I used fragrance oil. I think the problem was probably that I shouldn't have let it gel.

Do you have an accurate scale? At what temp did you combine the oils and lye water? Did you reach true trace?
