Staff Answer The recipe on the website was made back in 2014. The soap was made in this way to highlight the beautiful golden honey color of the soap. The bottom darker layer complimented the first layer. The myrrh gum powder we now carry is much darker. We remade the recipe in the same way but it did not look quite as good as the original. That is why the recipe in the magazine was done differently. We do not think the soap will darken.

Staff Answer Since Myrrh Gum Powder is a natural product it does vary in color. You may want to try just a small amount in your product to keep it closer to the honey color you are are looking for.

Staff Answer You should not have an issue with this sweating. If you are in a humid climate, they may sweat slightly but should dry within the 1-7 day period. You can also spritz with alcohol and wipe with a paper towel if you do experience some sweating.

Staff Answer Hi Natalie, you could use half and half. It will greatly change the overall appearance of the soap. It will be an opaque off-white color versus a semi-transparent honey color.

Staff Answer Yes, you could add a facial clay to this bar. How much you use will depend on the clay. If you are using one of our clays we provide the common and recommended usage rates for each one. You will need to test your finished product to ensure compatibility. You will also need to adjust your ingredient label to include and additions to our original recipe if you are selling this product.

Staff Answer The shelf life for this product is 1 year after manufacture. We recommend that these soaps be stored at or below room temperature in a dry place. They can be wrapped for added protection. For use they should be allowed to dry completely between uses to extend the life of the product.
