Whenever I use silicone moulds to make chocolate, I start to get this powdery residue after washing. I've tried soaking them in boiling soapy water, I've given them a good scrub with the sponge, but it remains. I've seen one post online saying it might be cocoa butter? But I can't find anything definitive.
Does anyone know what it is and if it's harmful? It only appears after I've made chocolate in it a few times. If it makes a difference, I used plain chocolate with additional mint or orange oil. Sometimes I put it in the freezer to help it set faster.

@SilverArrows@autistics.life I don't know it is, but I get it on my silicone muffin pan and my silicone supercube dups. I have been assuming it's residue from my dish soap. It wipes of mine with some effort.
