I'm working with a nice smelling 'Geranium Rose Egyptian compound' FO. Trying to avoid another seizure, I went a little slower but now have a grainy texture on my soap. It sure smells pretty good but I'm not sure what happened or what the graininess means. Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks again!

Geranium is known to seize or get lumpy or grainy. Leave it be for now, then test for zap. Did you add it at trace or to your melted and cooled off oils?

It was added to the oils well before trace.

Do all florals seize or are some more prone to doing this?

Thanks,
DC

Rose Geranium EO lumped up on me, but I was able to blend it back together.
