OK, first I hope I put this in the right forum area...
Before I discovered this great resource, and how fun it is making my own soap, I had bought a whole bunch of soaps. Probably more than I should have... Anyway I thought they'd store ok (the cheap, grocery store stuff never "went bad", so I never considered that these would...you know what they say about ASSsuming) These are the "CST" soaps in various styles usually found at Home Goods/TJ Max, if that matters. So I have them in a Rubbermaid tub, double bagged in trash bags, mostly so they don't get damp in my leaky storage area. I had checked on them the other day, and they're all damp and sweaty looking, even though they're in multiple layers of plastic, in super-dry Minnesota winter. I learned about Glycerin Dew on here (thank you for all the knowledge on here!)
Anyway what I was wondering, are these ruined? Can I "pat them dry" and keep using them, or does the Glycerin get rancid, or something, like oil does? I really don't want to just toss all of it if I don't have to. Thank you!
