oil spots on top of soap

[invalid_username]

before unmolding, i found oily spots on top of my soap. i still cut it after 30hrs in the mold. no oily places in the centre or sides, just those few on top. What could be the problem?

If soap gets a tad bit too hot, it can form droplets on the surface. It can be oil, water or glycerin and usually absorbs back into the soap, it won't be a issue.

Sometimes oily spots happen because of overheating. They happen to all of us from time to time. No worries, though- minor oil spots will re-absorb as the soap sits and cures.


ETA- lol, Obsidian and I were posting at about the same time.

If they are little beads of oil, it may be fragrance oil. It should reabsorb back into the soap.
