Working through some issues. Seems like when one thing is figured out something new pops up.

made GMS and when we cut it at 36hrs it has some orange spots.

16 oz olive oil (50%)
2 oz castor oil (6.25%)
9.2 oz coconut oil (28.75%)
4.8 oz shea butter (15%)

4.6 oz lye
10.3 oz goat milk
2 oz frosted fir fragrance from brambleberry
Green Apple mica , brambleberry

Oils/ lye mixed at 75-85 degrees

Placed in oven overnight that was heated to 95 degrees (proofing setting) then shut off once heated. This was recommended to force gel phase. We were having issues with partial gel phase even when putting in fridge or freezer for 6hrs.

The soap did crack a little on top as well.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
