The castille soap is out of the mold and it looks great. No air bubbles on the sides and the color is nice too. I prevented the gel phase by putting the soap in the freezer overnight. In the past, especially with larger batches, I have had problems with "soap volcanoes", so I tried not insulating and putting it in the freezer. Of course the fact that this is a small batch and only one kind of oil, without any EOs or sugars and milk, has helped prevent the gel phase too, and I might not have had to put it in the freezer at all. I will try that next time. One thing I have noticed is that the soap is hardening slower than usual, and I will have to wait until tomorrow to cut it.
