When do you add things like honey, clay or colloidal oatmeal to the hot process soap? At trace or after? Also with the honey do you use powder or fresh raw local honey?
 
It depends on the look I'm going for with honey, if I want some major darkening/caramelization, I add it at trace but if I want it to stay a bit lighter I add it after the cook and the batter has cooled some. I use fresh honey.

For good incorporation, I would add the clay or Oatmeal at trace. That way it's all mixed as long as its going to be in the entire recipe.
