Teach Soap

Hi,

I've heard that putting in sugar will add to the lather. My question is... are there any side effects to doing this , like drying out the skin, longevity of the bar, etc. Also, how much sugar should be added?

Thanks!

It doesn't help the lather, it helps give bigger bubbles.

I use 1 TBSP ppo. I dissolve it in my water way before adding my lye to it. No side effects.

The only effects that you might encounter is the soap might try to overheat.

I tried this after hearing others talk about it on this forum and it really does work, just plain ole table sugar.

A simple solution and such a shame that commercial soap companies will dump detergents into their products to create this same effect...and all it really takes is sugar! It does cause the soap to heat up more though, so I will usually put the soap in the fridge so it won't gel or leave it uncovered and watch it closely.

Yep wonderful stuff. Certainly makes for a bubbly affair. I make a sugar syrup up and store it in a jar. Have it on hand so just add to oils then along with the lye. No problem with the crystalisation issue.
