I want to make an unscented soap with oatmeal and organic honey. I've read that 1 tablespoon per pound of oil is rule of thumb when doing so, but I have never added any sugars to my recipe before and I'm scared that it might volcano. I'm trying to make a 4 pound batch. My mold gets pretty hot after 3 hours as it starts to gels and I soap around 80-85 degrees ( i have some hard oils in my recipe).
I always gel my soaps but for adding honey, do you guys think I should stick it in the freezer instead? Any suggestions or tips to prevent my soap from exploding haha.
Also how much oatmeal should I add? I don't want it to be to scratchy I was thinking half a cup to a cup of oatmeal.
