Hello everyone. Any idea what these spots are from in my soap? This is my Goat Milk and Honey bar that I made last weekend along with two other batches of Goat Milk soaps (different recipes but same goat milk and honey). I noticed these ugly spots immediately after unmolding and cutting. This only happened once before but with an entirely different recipe (cedarwood & fir). No obvious signs of oil/fat rancidity (no foul smells).
Here are the details/recipe:
10 oz. Olive Oil
8 oz. Lard
8 oz. Coconut Oil
4 oz. Sweet Almond Oil
3 oz. Mango Butter
4.67 oz. Lye (5% SF)
5.9 oz. Water + 5 oz. Goat Milk (33%)
1 tbs. Honey (Raw honey mixed with 2 tbs. of water)
1 oz. Orange E.O.
I mixed everything at 80 to 85 degrees and set on my porch for 12 hours (refrigerator temps or cooler) then inside, uninsulated for a day and a half before cutting.
