Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I would like some info on using honey in CP soap. How much honey should you use PPO? And when do you add it? Should it be heated first to make it more fluid? And does it retain the scent? Any tidbits on using honey would be appreciated. Thanks for your help...Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 [Dave:] I expected that smell with my GM/honey/oats soap and was disappointed. Interesting. There is a very faint scent. But it’s great soap. I also added a tad of beeswax to this particular batch (I don’t usually care to add beeswax because it seems to me that it reduces the lather). The bars are very hard and while the lather is not lavish, the soap is wonderful to use. Dave and other soapers, If you have a local supplier for your honey, ask them for what my suppliier calls his " Feed Honey " . It is the bottom of the honey collecting and has some beeswax in the bottom of the jar. When I spoon out the honey I make sure that I get a little of that. Now he did tell my that I shouldn't eat this honey, but there are no bee parts in it. With this I get a little beeswax, and the lather is still great!
