Nice, bet your skin is gonna love it. So I have used honey in soap (it is either that for me or a homemade sugar syrup). And used quite a bit - 30 grams or 2 tablespoons in a 1 kg oil, for a 1250g soap loaf. Adding a milk powder is gonna make your soap smell so edible like food, and be even creamier. Good idea.
I use honey in most batches but u know me i add it after cook. I hate to add anything that may be destroyed by the lye so unless it's silk fiber (which definitely will not dissolve without adding it to the lye water) I usually add almost before cook is complete or after. I have never used this honey but it does look good for my coffee! It made this soap a beautiful caramel color!
The manuka honey has started to crystalize which makes it lighter colored and thicker, this is common with manuka honey and you can warm it in a hot water bath for a while to make it liquid, like the other honey. All honeys can crystalize but manuka sometime crystalizes still in the honey comb it is so common.
Maybe the white on top was a little soda ash? The soap gelled all the way through! Beautiful! I mix my lye 1:1 and mix honey with warm water and let it cool a little and drop in my oils before adding my lye water. I’m afraid of honey spots, but yours turned out beautifully!!!!
Thank you🩷. I think the article I linked mentioned that as an option as well. I’ve always added mine at trace and fingers crossed 🤞🏽 it’s worked out well for me every time lol. Thank you again 🩷🩷
One thing about honey, not to criticize but you should never use a metal spoon with honey, it kills enzymes in it right away, thats why you always see those funny little wooden things being used, even a plastic spoon is better. I love a good honey soap I use it often in my soaps but never used manuka honey. I have a lot of local honey always available.
Hey so the motion is/was so quick that I’m sure it didn’t cause damage (corrosion). According to what I’ve found online a quick scooping motion doesn’t kill enzymes instantly. It’s when the honey is left on the metal spoon over time. Yes plastic spoons are better but I used what I had in arms reach 😊 thanks. Honey soaps are my favorite as well this was my first time working with manuka honey and definitely won’t be the last.

Yes adding the milk powder definitely makes it creamier. Thank you 🩷
I use a bit of my water to mix with the honey then add it to my oils

Thank you for sharing. I want to share your comment in my upcoming livestream if that is okay.
@@3baashandmadesoaps937 That is fine. Thanks for asking.
The lather looks really rich and creamy. It seems like it would feel great to use! ❣️
I’m looking forward to testing it out.
Great video 😊

@@3baashandmadesoaps937 it worked out beautifully for you here❣️
Thank you 🩷
I also mix my honey with equal warm water
Looks like soda ash to me.
Soap looks great
The Manuka honey may be thicker due to it being unrefined and the other honey is definitely refined.
Thank you 🩷
