Teach Soap

I've done two rebatches now. Both were high oo goat milk soaps, uncolored, one with fragrance and one without. Both were batches that I'm pretty sure overheated.

Any time I see video/pictures of rebatched soap, it's white/ivory. Both of mine turned very brown. Not unpleasant, especially this last one I really enjoy- I really mounded up that top so it has that really cool "I'm a super rustic handmade soap" look (or I'm just a proud mama who thinks all her little soap babies are beautiful, the jury is still out on that one...), and I used a sample I had of snickerdoodle and buttercream from BB. I know that scent browns, and it certainly turned the soap more brown than the first one (but it's like swirled brown- it looks awesome I tell you!). What is it (other than the colorant, obviously) that makes rebatched soap turn brown? Am I cooking too hot? Because both batches were overheated CPOP batches? Is it the goat milk?

Oh, here's a picture of the most recent rebatch after I cut it

Congrats on your rebatch! The white soaps you most likely see have TD in them.

ah... that makes sense. So the brown is normal? Good to know!

Plus, you also used milk in your soap, which can give it the brown color. I like the way your rebatch looks!
