Honey soap is a beautiful soap with a wonderful sweet smell. It comes out a great deep brown color, and feels fabulous on your skin. Here's a tip for you, whenever you are measuring honey or molasses or any other viscous liquid along those lines, if you spray the measuring cup or spoon with a PAM type spray, the honey will pour out more completely, and cleanup will be much easier.
12 oz veg shortening
4 oz coconut oil
1 oz beeswax
1 cup distilled water
2 oz lye
1/8 cup (1 fluid ounce) honey
Mix lye and water, allow to cool.
Melt vegetable shortening.
Over a double boiler, melt wax and coconut oil together together, and keep warm.
When shortening is 120* and lye is 100*, pour lye mixture into shortening and stir until tracing occurs.
Pour wax and oil mixture into soap mixture stirring constantly ( the mixture will get VERY thick with the addition of the beeswax mix)
When the beeswax mixture is completely blended, stir in the honey and pour into molds.
Unmold after 24-48 hours.
Allow to age for 3 weeks.
