White Crumbly patches

[dwolanin]

Hi y'all

I made this soap a few weeks ago and took it off the curing rack today to find this white crumby stuff on it. Mostly on the ends. I was able to shave off most of it but some was down into the soap. No zap either. I really don't know why this happened during curing.
recipe is
Coconut 30
palm 30
olive 25
castor 5
mango butter 10

FO berried treasure from WSP
Sample Neon Powers
Used freezer paper and sprayed with alcohol. didn't use seran wrap.
I hope you can help me.

It's hard to tell from the picture but it could be just a case of heavy ash. Your colors look really cool.

I agree. It looks like it is either heavy ash, or else it could be stearic spots from the palm and mango butter. That happens to me if I soap those kinds of fats too cool (stearic spotting). Either way, both are harmless in spite of their unsightliness.

I'm going to vote steric. I get similiar spots and it runs all the way through the soap.
