Is there a problem with Epsom Salt and MP soap?

there was a project i found years ago on a website for a m&p soap..i couldn't recall if it required epsom or sea salt...so i tried epsom...it turned to goo....

the project was to pour a thin layer of melted base in a foil lined pan. sprinkle with SEA salt, let harden, then break into shards. fill a mold with the shards, then overpour. it looks cool...when i did it the right way,lol!

Im pretty sure its because epson salts arent exactly what we normally think of as "salt" . it is magnesium sulfate- with much different properties then regular sea salt. I have found that epson salts shouldnt really be mixed with anything but other types of salt and perhaps a carrier oil. anything else gets funky
