[quote="soapbuddy"]MP is a little softer than CP. What else are you adding to it now?
Are you possibly heating it too much?[/quote]
So far I have not added anything other than color and fragrance.
Would heating cause it to be soft after it cures?

A small amount of beeswax or olive oil will help.

How much beeswax and or oil can I add? I have read that to much oil can make the soap sticky.
The fragrance and color are from B/B and I do stirr to complete the melting.
Thank You for the Help!!!!

Some people say that the beeswax makes a harder bar. However when our owner Anne-Marie tried it, it did not work at all...

I guess if you can make it work, then great for you! But just know that for some it may not....

I have had good luck adding small amounts of Beeswax to MP in the past. DO NOT melt Beeswax in the microwave however!!! (The melt point is very high for Beeswax.)
