Teach Soap

dear beekeepers and soapers! Need your help!

Have you ever tried to use * in your CP soap? Please share your experience of how to incorporate it in the recipe?

Thanks!

No. Partly because to collect any meaningful amount is too labor intensive. Because I read the industry news, I know how often shipments of honey from China are stopped and turned back because of illegal additives, antibiotics, and so on--so there's no way I would buy a honey bee product from China, which is where much of the commercial stuff is from.

I always buy my honey locally! As long as they are willing to play with the bees I'm good with that.

oOPS! I don't know if you understoo me right. But I was talking about this special secretion that is used to feed some special bee to make her become a queen bee. this is from wikipedia:

Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of larvae and adult queens.[1] It is secreted from the glands in the hypopharynx of worker bees, and fed to all larvae in the colony.[2]

When worker bees decide to make a new queen, either because the old one is weakening, or was killed, they choose several small larvae and feed them with copious amounts of royal jelly in specially constructed queen cells. This type of feeding triggers the development of queen morphology, including the fully developed ovaries needed to lay eggs.[3]

have you ever heard of using it in cosmetic? In Ukraine is like very popular stuff. But I have never thought of using it in CP. Does it even make any sense?

Why waste it in soap? Put it into a leave on product; lotion, cream or a serum.

Well... how about adding it into superfat ? or you think lye will still ruin it?

why you say if? you got me intrigued!
I mean, in Ukraine honey and royal jelly is like the most essential and vitaminized products of nature. They say if you eat 1teaspoon og honey everyday - you loose weight, you get all the minerals you need, your bones get harder etc.. Is this a lie? I mean, aren't there studies that confirm?

As far as I know, honey has trace minerals, but in such tiny quantities that they wouldn't make any difference. Royal jelly has lots of carbohydrates and other nutrition, but again, such small quantities that having a green salad will probably give you more vitamins and minerals and nutrition generally. As far as I know, there hasn't been a study, but the nutritional analysis has been done.
