Beautiful swirls :) Did you freeze the milk before you mixed the lye in it? Mine overheated even tough I mixed the lye first with water and then mixed it with the oat milk.
Thanks Kirppu :D I was going to freeze the milk, but then changed my mind. I ended up adding the full amount at trace, so the milk was slightly cool when I added it. Thankfully, I didn't have any weird curdling or overheating issues. I really had my heart set on making a 100% oat milk soap, but I've read of a lot of disasters using that much oat milk, so I'll leave that for the braver people...lol! How did your soap end up turning out?
Don´t know yet. It is still in the mold. It did get hot fast and I hope that I got a full gel and not a partial. I had to put it in the freezer, because it started to look like a vulcano :D
