Hello everyone, I need help because strange flower or crystal like shapes appear on clear melt and pour soaps. Do you know what it is? Do you have any suggestions? Here is what it looks like when I cut a bit of the soap to show you better:

I have not add anything btw It is not sweating you may see the flakes on the top left corner more clearly.
 
What I'm seeing from your excellent photo is light reflecting from a 5 sided flat surface, and some fractal crystal growth.

The growth suggest salts

I've seen similar elsewhere - context helps.
