Wild African Honey

[SoapMee]

Have any of you used Wild African Honey in soap, and does anyone know if it reacts differently than regular honey?

I'm not an experienced soap maker and I've never used honey, but I don't think that Wild African Honey's characteristics are so different from a regular honey. At least not in soap making terms. So I don't think it should react different but I wonder if it is worth using it for soap (I assume it would cost far more...)

I've not used African Wild Honey but I used locallly-produced wild honey. It's not too different from the usual syrup I used. I only added it for the label appeal.
You can only use so much honey in lye soap without it overheating or volcano. Withthat amount I doubt any benefit will show up aside from improving lather because of the sugar. It wouldn't be too different from regular honey or even just sugar syrup.

I kinda suspected as much. This is another product I purchased on a Black Friday sale that I've never really used so I figure I'll now just put a tsp in my soap and let it boost lather! I'm new enough at soaping that I didn't want to give myself a volcano mess.

Thank you!
