White spots on my soap....(Could be stearic acid spots)

[varshamanick]

Hey everyone,
I am a newbie from India.
I recently moved into 1000g loaf moulds from small cavities square moulds.
I made 1000g oils batch twice, I could see white spots both the time.

For the first one,
45% hard oils
55% soft oils
5%Superfat
35% lye concentration
French green clay - 2 tsp
Essential oils 3%
Measured all oils into the same bowl and melted by heating them together.
Soaped at 80-100 F

When I researched, I heard about two solutions
1. Melt hard oils separately
2. Soap at a higher temperature

So
Second one,
50% hard oils
50% soft oils
7%Superfat
35% lye concentration
French pink clay - 2 tsp
Essential oils 3%
Melted hard oils separately, then incorporated in to soft oils.
Soaped at 100-120 F

But worse than before.
How do I solve this?

And also, I get trace pretty quickly, I could even work without a stick blender.
Could it be unsaponified lye?
I don't want this to happen again.

It's hard to say for sure without knowing which soaping oils and which essential oils you used. If you can share those, people will be better able to help you.
