In your recipe for Sweet Citrus Honey soap, you list the beeswax as an optional additive, but then you combine it with the hard oils before the lye. I'm confused. Wouldn't the addition of that beeswax before the lye-water throw off the saponification calculations? If I add it, I have a certain mass/volume/percentage of oils; if I don't add it, it would be different, right?
