It looks like you overcooked it. Also, you didn't use enough water for HP. Generally you want to use 3:1. 33% is good for CP. And you have a lot of CO so it may be a bit drying to a lot of people. I don't generally use more than 20% or so depending on the recipe.

Hi guys hope you are having a great day so far. This is my first hot process soap. It’s quite crumbly. Do you think I cooked it too long or is it the recipe.

I think maybe you cooked too long. I would also use more water next time. Did you zap test it?

I did zap test it a couple times that’s why I ended up overcooking it

Thank you for your feedback are you interpreting CO for castor oil or coconut oil

Can I rebatch this soap and add more water although it’s overcooked or is it ruined for good

You could rebatch it. I would just use it as is if there's no zap. I hate re-batching.
