hmm, drying out. Any idea why only a few would dry out and not others? Thanks for your input!

The wrap does not have any holes - its just the soap - they are very small. I use Polypropylene Bags.

Hello all, I was referred by someone on another soap forum as she thought someone might know why this is happening to some of my soaps! I work with M&P soap and have been making it for over a year now without any problems until more recently. On some of my bars, that have been wrapped and sitting on a shelf in a cool/dark room, I noticed there are tiny holes forming on the top and sides with dry areas over the top and sides. It's lost its sheen and just looks bad. I've contacted the manufacturer of the soap and sent pictures but they still don't know what's causing it - they said they think it's just cosmetic and not to worry. I've asked in other forums and no one seems to know what it is or what is causing it. I wish I knew so I can possibly avoid doing or not doing something that's making only SOME of the soaps have this happen. This is happening to both colored and uncolored soaps - soaps scented with FO or EO. I'm using high quality natural goats milk soap base and as I said I never had this problem before. I even have a few soaps that I made from over a year ago that look as good as the day I made them, so it's really strange to me. Has anyone heard of this or had this happen and what might be the cause?
