Teach Soap

Ok while I was reading about diffrent oils and butters in the use of makeing soap a couple sites added honey as well as beeswax to the list noteing that they arnt oils but still good additives.
My question is I read somewhere that honey can superheat your mixture ( reaction to the sugar if I understood it right) but is good for your skin and antiseptic I think is the word they used (forgive me if its not)
Is honey something that is worth adding to a bar for people with skin problems such as dry , acne prone, eczema or scoriasis ect ? If so how do you help keep the heat down? Do you mix in a ice bath the way you can with goatmilk soaps to keep the heat down?
Sorry for all the questions post. I look thru the site but so far havent found posts answering some of my questions yet
THank you

Honey has sugar so it can add more bubbles. You can add it, but you can't make any medical claims ie: acne prone, eczema or psoriasis. Yes, honey can overheat; especially if you use too much. Honey does not add antiseptic values to soap. If you use honey and goat's milk in a soap batch, just keep your oils and lye solution just slightly warm before mixing. I would not put this combo in the oven to gel, but covered in a light towel on the counter. If you start to get a crack in the middle that means the soap is overheating. Elevate it asap and put a fan on it, or put it in the fridge.

Honey - (not an oil but can be used as an additive)
Honey is also a humectant, so it helps retain moisture on the skin in much the same way as glycerin. Use it at about 2 Tablespoons per pound of oils, added at trace.

I cant find the other site again thats what I get for reading at 4 in the morning but I got the word wrong looks like. Thank you again soapbuddy I think I will spend just as much time correcting wrong information as learning new information.

Honey is a humectant in leave on product such as lotions or creams. It doesn't help retain moisture on skin in soap.
