Teach Soap

I am interested in using beeswax in my soap and wondering what oils would work well with beeswax? I am looking for a recipe for making cold process soap with beeswax. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

You can add beeswax to any recipe. You don't have to have certain oils with it. I think most people that use it keep the beeswax percentage fairly low (2-3%). There are several soapers on here that can help you a bit more than I can.

You can add beeswax to any recipe. Just make sure you run it through a lye calc.

Closed minds are like faulty parachutes; they refuse to open.

Just make sure you keep it at or under 3% or you run the risk of actually making it too soft, rather than harder. Also, when you go to make it, beeswax takes a higher temp to melt, so once you melt your oils and the beeswax, you will need to cool it down before you add the lye in. Keep stirring as it cools to keep oils at the sides of the pot melted too, as they tend to start getting hard. Have fun!
