Dr Watson said: It does look like mould. Was it purchased from A&E UK? I know that soap base contains lard and so I suppose if stored incorrectly it will turn... General consensus is up to 6 months if kept at room temperature, if stacked near a radiator or in an overly warm environment, who knows? Click to expand...

Yep it was. The thing is it didn’t arrive like that so if it is mould it must have been me not drying the soap properly, but I’ve never had that issue before. I always leave the soaps at least six hours if not longer. Makes me wonder if it’s more worth scraping some out to lather with.
