umm..I guess the title of the post says it all - lol
Has anyone ever added, or know anything about adding - honey to lotions or creams? Will it precipitate out of an oil or butter?
How about honey powder?

I wouldn't add it to a premade base as it could compromise the preservative.

But if you added preservative....would it be ok? My main concern was whether or not it would compromise the emulsion...

You could try honey powder. It's real honey, just dry sprayed to a powder. It smells so yummy.

I use honey powder in my mask base, and it is an emulsified base. I havven't had a problem with it. I know some people use raw honey too, but I haven't tried that.
