    Oh, ok, interesting. When you say it like that i understand that A-Polly's (IrishLass's) suggestion isn't correct? Because combining the pre-made solutions would also mean adding them after the NaOH. Or you literally mean only the three (sugar / salt/ citric acid) and not the honey?

    I think to try to reduce my SF to 3%. I've never done this for hand soap, but I'm willing to try it out. Oh, interesting! It didn't happen to me yet, but I've used very little honey per kg, maybe that's why?

    @A-Polly thanks a lot! I'll definitely try it out this way!
