white clumps in soap.is it normal?

[Tierdaen]

Sorry for the stupid question...

Opened a few old soaps and noticed a lot of opaque white clumps, like something that has fallen out of solution. It's happened with three of the pucks I opened and I'm curious if it suggests a problem, or if it's normal and nothing to worry about.

Is that a hard soap or a croap/cream?

It's an old puck of Mama Bear, which I think is a melt/pour glycerin soap.

Totally normal and nothing to worry about. Mine goes that way if I don't use them for a while, but reverts to the normal non-bumpy look after usage. I think it has something to do with a wee bit of moisture left on the puck and some heat in the room, no, I'm not saying to blow-dry or towel-dry your puck
