Can someone please help me figure out what went wrong with these soaps? Neither set and both seem oily. They both went to trace in the crock pot with the stick blender, lye mixture was added when oils and lye were at 110 degrees. Cooked on low for 55 minutes, kept them in a little longer because they didn’t look like “mashed potato” consistency, more like jelly. I’ve attached both recipes and current photos ☹️. Can they be fixed?

Appreciate any feedback and suggestions.

Hi there, some chromium green oxide in the green one, nothing in the other one other than the pumpkin puree and the EO’s. Everything was measured by weight.
 
Not an HP expert, but doesn't 38% lye concentration bring too little water to cook your soap?

How is it now, did it 'fix itself' or did it separate completely?
