what happened

[gsc]

Looking closely at the attached picture you can see the top of bar is completely a different color and looking at the side you can see a thin layer of the lighter color. Is that extra oils that didn't saponify? CPOP method, SF 4.75 and used sunflower oil, palm kernal oil, palm oil, mango seed butter, rice bran oil and caster oil. Too much oil?

What colorants did you use? And if it is scented, what fragrance oil did you use?

I'm betting the inside now cut surfaces will go the same color soon.

oakmoss and chromium green both from soapsupplies.net

has been cut for 3 days now and has not turned.

I had a different colour on the outside of an early pine tar soap - the inside was a different colour and it didn't change over time. I think it's just cosmetic.

As to why it happened..........soap fairies?

Does it feel rough at all? Just guessing here, but could it be a thin layer of SA that is dulling the green?

 

[Susie]

I'm going with soda ash also.

 

[gsc]

it is smooth on all sides besides the top so you are probably right - SA Guess I will just trim it off.

 

[goji_fries]

looks good though

it looks sort of like Aleppo soap. Why get rid of the outside color? it's cool the way it is.

Those buggers are sneaky....

I thought perhaps the cut side would change too - but perhaps it is just ash..
