psfponies Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) I havent made to many batches of soap maybe around 20. I have had a couple batches come out where about 1/2" of the ends and bottom of the loaf are soft and white feel like cream cheese when I unmold it. Used the same exact recipe on three batchs and only one did it. It does harden up but its very white color. Just wondering what might cause this to happen.

MarieJeanette Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 It sounds to me like your soap went through partial gel. The part that is white and soft like cream cheese is the part that did not gel. I've had that happen on ocassion. Nothing to worry about, though. It hardens up as it cures, as you've found out already. Although the bars might not look completely uniform in color, it's still perfectly good soap.

MarieJeanette Thanks I figured that is what happened.... I just keep the ends ones for myself when that happens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
