Creamy coloured liquid soap

[TrulyNatural]

Hi I'm new to soap making and have made a few successful batches of clear liquid soap. The liquid soap I have made has turned a rich silky, creamy colour about 48 hours after dilution. Does anybody know what the cause if this it? It's not separating and it's lovely to use, it's nice and moisturising too Does liquid soap have to be clear? Thanks in advance for any info.

Liquid soap does not have to be clear. I have 2 favorite formulas I like to make. One is crystal clear and the other is opaque/creamy/pearly. The opaque/creamy/pearly formula contains both cocoa and shea butter as well as some stearic acid. Did you add any butters to your soap? If so, that's the most likely reason why your soap turned creamy looking.
