Added 2022-05-20 22:14:48 +0000 UTCNotice how the center of this bar of soap looks a little darker than the outer edges😱 That is because this batch went through something called gel phase. Gel phase in soaping is when your batch of soap is going through the heating stage of saponification.🔥During this stage your soap can reach temperatures up to 180°F, causing the soap to heat up from the inside out. The center of your soap mold can begin to look gel like or translucent when it is heating up this much.🥵 It is not a bad thing for your soap to go through gel phase, in fact a lot of people prefer to force their soaps to go through gel phase! It can help make the colors of your soap be more vibrant as well as many other helpful things. A soap that has gone through gel phase does not affect the soaps properties whatsoever, it is purely cosmetic. 😊
