Hi! I just started soap making and the like yesterday. So far, I'm having a lot of fun. I prefer hand milled soaps, so, I'm experimenting with herbals and the like.
I'm running into a problem, however. The soaps I've made all are foamy on the back. A set of four Cinnamon & Vanilla soaps has a settled layer of cinnamon, then the peach of the colorant, than a very soft pink layer of foam. The Milk & Honey ones did something similar in that the first set is extremely soft (and foamy!) and the second set... I haven't taken out of the molds yet, but they're foamy!
Do I need to let the glycerin base cool before adding everything? Not quite sure how to fix the problem. I know it happens when whisking it....
