Hey,
so I unmolded the soap at about the 24 hour mark, I’ll attach recipe below. I didn’t do anything to drive it through gel, just poured and put a blanket over the soap. Soaped at 95F, poured at light trace. Is this what is called glycerine rivers? Is there anyway to avoid this? The issue is clear beads of liquid on top of the soap. The liquid beads on top of the soap have a slippery feel and do not smell like anything.


I’m extremely fluent with liquid soap, but bar soap is very new to me

That is not glycerin rivers, you have 871 grams of oils with 51 grams of EO, that seems like you have too much EO in that amount of oil to me. Just get some paper towel and pat it dry, let it sit for a few more days. You would be better to formulate your own recipe than to use someone else's out of a book.
