i'll try, not so good at it! any ideas why it darker on outside? it did gel, was covered, but not wrapped.

I just had a similar issue with my soap (yellow inside, pinky brown outside). Now it's all brown, but in a nice way!

Drat, I don't know how to link the post. :shock: Type in Oops! not what I expected in search and maybe that will help you. If not, maybe someone much more experienced than I can chime in.

P.s. The only thing that I did differently with this batch and it also occured with another batch made on the same day, is that instead of putting plastic wrap on top before I put the lid on, I used freezer paper instead.
Not sure what to make of that, but it is the only 2 times I've had it happen and it seems like a bit of a coincidence. :?
