I live in New Jersey and I make soap to sell at local craft fairs.. I made soap when it wasn't too humid, left it by a fan and it was fine. Last week, I made soap again and it got slimey and almost felt like it was wet. I followed the same protocol. Some soaps are absolutely fine and some aren't.. Im not sure what is happening here and I need help! I have tried multiple things- has this happened to anyone else?

It's possible that the a mount of humidity varied from batch to batch. Do you have a dehumidifier?

I'm in NYC and have had the same problem. I now only use low sweat SFIC soap and only soap with air conditioner running to control humidity. Haven't had a problem in the two years since I started using low sweat formula. It's a little more expensive but it's been worth it to me.

Thought of something else - slimy melt and pour soap is sometimes the result of too much fragrance. Even slight variations can make a difference.

I have such a tough time with m and p sweating...I always wrap it immediately after de-molding, and store it in a container with those little silica packets. What's curious to me is some will sweat, some will not- even in the same container. I get orders for m and p alot of the time and am always scared to accept them because you I never know how many I will really have to make to fill the order. Do you run A/C while you are making them? or when storing them? That could get expensive, even just running a fan- I tried low sweat base once and it was better but still had the problem. any suggestions? Thank you in advance. You will be eliminating a "several years" headache for me!

I'm also in NJ (yay NJ!), but I haven't had an issue with sweating soap. I usually use the LCP clear and white base from BB. Trying out their "normal" clear and white as soon as my order gets here though. You can get silica gel crystals from the craft store and pour some in a plastic tub, add a cookie rack to keep the soaps off the crystals, and put a lid on it. Dehumidifier in a box! :mrgreen:

Wow, this is a really old thread. Darn spammer stole part of Connie's post.
