I’ve been making CP soap for a couple years and have several recipes. After 6 weeks of curing, they’re great; hard, good lather, no zap or lye pockets. However, all my soaps inevitably start “weeping” after sitting on the shelf for @ 5 to 8 months. They all starting beading a liquid on the outside. It’s a little sticky, no zap from it. I store the soap in my basement so it’s not overly hot or humid and I’ve tried both essential oils and fragrance oils, all result in same problem. I like giving away soap, but am concerned that if it sits in their shelves for too long, it’ll become weepy on their shelves as well. I've read some places that it might be related to attracting moisture from the air, but how then could anyone store soap in a bathroom w/o this happening. Any ideas?
