Those little swirls are not supposed to be like that I dont think.They are a different consistency from the rest if the soap kind of like grease or oil that dried or something. It looks so weird and not right. Castor oil 2 ounces Cocoa butter 4 ounces Coconut Oil 4 ounces Olive oil 12 ounces Palm oil 10 ounces lye 4.3 ounces water 12 ounces That is the recipe I used.
