RADical-Bee's-1

Notes:
Add 1 tb of honey per Lb of oil - pull out a little of the combined oils and add in - mix then add back to the batch before the lye
Add the honey-oil back to the pot and blend the whole mixture of oils, beeswax, and honey very well. Because you're working with a wax that wants to harden, and honey, which wants to separate out from the oils, you want to make sure the whole mixture is very well blended before you add the lye.
Bee's wax melting point is 145f -
  • Measure the temperatures of the lye-water and the oils. You should aim to cool them both to be about 130°F / 54°C for light-brown colored soap. If you want your bars darker and the honey scent stronger, then mix your soap at 150°F / 66°C. For the darker color it's better to pour the soap into a loaf mold too. If you're a beginner, stick to the temperature and mold for the lighter soap.
Pour first the honey then the lye-solution into the pan of oils. I tend to pour the lye through a sieve to catch any potential undissolved lye or bits.
Set the mold on a heat-proof surface and leave uncovered for two days. Alternatively, you can pop the mold in the fridge overnight. This will ensure a light color.
