I think the soap mixture's temperature was too high when i add in the grapeseed oil and essential oils, the soap mixture seized instantly. After trying and failing to stir the mixture, i left the mixture to heat until it became transparent. Then, i add in the colourants,and used cookie cutters to shape the soap. Although they don't look very pretty, they smells lovely. I tried washing with the leftover soap in my pot and they felt wonderful. very bubbly and not drying at all.
