Crumbly soap

[Sunibee]

Hi, my charcoal soap has turned crumbly. Is it excess of SL ? ..

Checked the pH it is normal.. did zap test again it's only soapy. Can it be excess of eucalyptus oil ? I use 4% for scenting ..

Were you working with low temperatures? I have had that issue when working with low temperatures and possibly had false trace. I forced gel in the oven and that fixed it

I don't remember. But I know I did not pop it into my cooler Box
