Hubby insists I make a honey soap...one of the amber/clear ones. SFIC makes a honey base, but it is the "regular", not the low sweat.

So... is the low sweat really worth it? Is it that much better? How is the lather and feel of the low sweat bases compared to the regular?

Can I just add honey to the clear low sweat base? Or is the regular one with honey already in it better?

I made a small batch of the goat's milk yesterday - I really like it, but I don't know what to expect going forward. Am I going to wake up one day and find my soaps are sweating?

I am also considering the extra hard base - Wisteria Lane carries it, but they won't ship to Canada. How do you like the extra hard - does it lather as well as the softer soaps?

Also - is there a big difference between the Low sweat and the extra hard in feel , lather and longevity?

whew!

thanks - lol

The only thing I can help you with here is, yes you can add honey or honey powder to any mp base you have. Usually about 1 TBSP per lb, but I've gone higher than that many times and have had no problems.

As to the low sweat, easy way to find out if you need it. Is it very humid where you live? If yes, then there is a chance your soap will sweat.

I've read that you can add up to 2 tbsp of Honey per lb of melt and pour (and I know the general rule is 1 tbsp of anything per lb) and I've had no problems with that amount. Trust me when I first tried it I thought this is gonna make me sticky! But no, it was perfect, and it left my skin very soft :) The way I look at it is the more different kinds of base I use, the more it's going to cost me because bulk prices are cheaper. If 100 lbs of clear is $x.xx it's going to be cheaper than 25 lbs of this, 25 lbs of that, etc (unless your willing to put out the money for 100lbs of each kind of soap). I try to stick to 3 - Clear, Opaque, Goat's Milk, though sometimes stray to a few lbs of shea butter and shaving. Anything else, I can just add (like honey and aloe for example.)

:)
