Hey girls, I haven't soaped in a few years and have never seen this. I made this soap last night, there are now tiny little wet looking beads on the top (haven't cut it yet so I dont know what the inside is like) that seem to be following the swirls, it seems to follow both colors here and there which is the odd part. What is it? Thanks!

well I get that when I freeze it and or refrigerated. It is the condensation rising off of it. That would be my first guess. Did you have any problematic fragrance oils that you've used?
 
It was a new fragrance too, everything was perfect until I peeked today! The wet looks like it made tiny indentations in the soap (its not simply resting on top).
 
With condensation, the weight of the water coming out can do this a tad, leave a mark where it was (especially if the soap was still really soft). If you zap test it and it doesn't zap, it's not a lye problem. If it tastes like the fo smells, if that makes sense, then you know it's the fo. If none of the above, I think condensation.
I love the colors btw. Post it in the pic forum cut up. It looks soft and delicate:)
