Reg Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) I made my second batch of HP soap, and when I cut it I found 5 or 6 white spots. I picked one out, and rubbed it between my fingers - it felt slippery like soap. So I added water, and it created bubbles and leather. So what is that? A soap that solidified just before I started pouring the soap into the mold? Something that didn't melt (even though I had it in a crock pot for one hour)? This is olive, soy, and coconut oil soap with oatmeal. Edited July 8, 2010 by Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grannyscandles Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Gosh I am not sure. After an hour of cooking I would think it's not lye or unsaponified oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I get some lighter colored specks, but I atributed it to the crusted soap on the sides of the crockpot. IDK That's what mine are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerywren Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 It's soap that got a little dry in the cook and took on a waxy appearance. When you mixed it in to your batch it left the white spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense (since it was soapy when I got it wet), thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
