I've made several batches of different kinds of soap, and this is the only batch that has this issue. I made it using a goats milk soap base, brown liquid dye, and Fudge Brownie fragrance oil from Wholesale Supplies Plus (which I've since learned doesn't have very good fragrances...I ordered a strawberry from them as well and it had a horrible chemical smell to it). Anyways, the bars initially came out fine, so I wrapped them in tissue paper to store them like I do my other bars.

But one of my friends, who took one of the bars home with her, said her bar was starting to look sort of gross. I unwrapped one of mine and it looked like this:

Ew! It initially looked like gold glitter, but using the macro setting on my camera, I was able to see that it seemed to be tiny sweat droplets. I quickly checked all my other soaps, but only this batch with this particular fragrance did this. Can someone tell me what happened, and how I can avoid it next time? This was one of my first batches, so it's highly plausible that it was overheated during the melting process, but does that account for this?

If it's moist or humid where you are, the glycerin can cause sweating in MP soaps.
It's always a good idea to wrap your soaps in shrink wrap as soon as they are made and cooled off.

It's not humid here where I live, and none of my other glycerin soaps have done this. I store all of my wrapped soaps in air-tight containers in a dry place. Also, the droplets in the image don't look it, but they are really hard, not slimy or wet.

On a side note, where can I get shrinkwrap? I went to the local craft stores here and all they have is gift-basket wrap, which doesn't stick when you heat it and crinkles awfully.
