Good day everyone. I'm new here so hopefully I'm posting in the proper thread. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone here because I've learned a lot just by browsing through the forums.
Anyway, I have some cp soaps that have been on the curing rack, the oldest soaps are at least 2 months now. Lately, it's been raining for at least 2 weeks now because of the monsoon season (and there's a forecast that it will remain this way until October, at most), so my soaps have been sweating profusely. I've read from other threads in this forum that I can mitigate the sweating by running a dehumidifier, getting silica beads and putting it where I store the soaps and the like. But what if I let the soaps sweat until the rains let up and let it dry again? Will it have a negative effect on the soap? Will it make my soap soft and mushy? Also, will it spoil the additives I put there? I usually substitute fruit purees or milk for my water. Also, I use 30% each of coconut oil and canola oil, 5% castor oil and 35% palm oil with 35% lye concentration. Right now, I know for a fact that after letting the soaps sweat for 2 weeks, the scent has faded significantly.
Thank you in advance for answering! Have a great day!
