Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Its just one of those phenomenon - some soap sweats when its hot *lol* ;-p So which of your soaps are sweating in the heat? A friend of mine told me her soap with Vetiver EO sweats when it gets hot. I had a batch of special order soap with Pennyroyal EO in it for a customer which I made several months back and I just this week noticed the bar I had kept from that batch was getting sweaty and gross, so I called the customer, told them to check theirs, and sure enough - hot sweaty soap - ewwwww. I'll of course be replacing it for them. I was just curious if any of your soaps sweats too!?! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com <http://www.alittleolfactory.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 None of mine are this year....pretty amazing. Since I stopped using vetiver in my soaps during the summer months, I've had no problems with this.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hiya Chris, Most of my soaps were " Sweaty " this weekend. But it is not due to the heat as much as it is the humidity. It can be 110 with 9% humidity they are dry in Arizona but if it is 75 and humid then they are slippery LOL Graham Sorenson http://Luna-Aromatics.com Come and stick your nose in our business The Home of " Arizona Balm " the Natural Solution to Problem Dry Skin.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I've been under the impression that the glycerin in the soap is pulled to the surface by the humidity in the air & that's what appears as " sweaty & gross " .

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I've never had that problem. I've heard that some bases can contribute to this condition, as well as over heating the base before pouring. About the worse thing I've done is over whip some natual base and created floating rubber rectangles. LOL (I'm not using that base again.LOL) Of course, in this heat, I'd not be shocked at anything that melted, sweated or just pooped out. , " Christine Ziegler " <chrisziggy wrote: > > Its just one of those phenomenon - some soap sweats when its hot *lol* > ;-p > > So which of your soaps are sweating in the heat? > > A friend of mine told me her soap with Vetiver EO sweats when it gets > hot. > > I had a batch of special order soap with Pennyroyal EO in it for a > customer which I made several months back and I just this week noticed > the bar I had kept from that batch was getting sweaty and gross, so I > called the customer, told them to check theirs, and sure enough - hot > sweaty soap - ewwwww.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Sweaty soap...any of mine with Patchouli...but then again, I'm doing an outdoor market. It reabsorbs when I put it back in the box and bring it inside. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Some of ours soaps will also " sweat " and some depending on what they're made with get downright soft. We put them in the fridge for a little while.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Actually, glycerin is a humectant. It attracts water. In humid conditions water that is drawn to the soap from the air and accumulates on the surface. The sweat is created by the condition of moisture in the air. Cold process soap can do the same thing in very humid conditions.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Of course, in this heat, I'd not be shocked at anything that melted, sweated or just pooped out. [Dave:] It’s been cooling off lately here – in fact, the last couple days have been cool and rainy, practically unheard-of in southern CA in July and August. But a couple weeks ago it was so hot, you could hear the trees calling the dogs. We had baked potatoes right from the garden. Just pulled ‘em out, rinsed ‘em off and added butter. -- Version: 7.1.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.5/406 - Release 8/2/2006 -- Version: 7.1.394 / Virus Database: 268.10.5/406 - Release 8/2/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
