BEESWAX IN CP SOAP

by Christine

I am looking at different ways to harden CP soap. What would be the usage rate for beeswax? Besides hardening the soap, what other benefits would beeswax add to the soap? Thanks. Also, sorry to hear about your loss. Good luck with the house moving process!

Answer:

You can find usage rates for many natural additives, including beeswax on my page about Herbal Natural Soap Ingredients.

Beeswax adds hardness and colour to soap and can be added in amounts of up to 2% of the weight of base oils in the recipe.

I'm not aware of any other benefits that beeswax adds but if anyone else does please be sure to post it here.
