    What am I doing wrong?

    The recipe is super basic, in fact, it's the most basic I've ever made! I used organic, unrefined shea butter with a superfat of 10% (although I typically go for a 7-8% superfat) with the only additive being lavender heads (roughly 2 tablespoons that were added to the lye mixture and blitzed)...
