Hi, Reporting after one night of air conditioning the soaps. All moisture has vanished and soaps are firm. I was so happy in the morning. But I can't pack air conditioners with the soaps in the hampers of course. Silica moisture absorbers should do the trick. There's 12 more days of curing...

Thanks for your reply Earlene. I did move the post to create a new thread after I learnt how to start a new thread. It's 'CP soap sweating'. Sorry for the confusion regarding weights and percentages. It was Rice barn oil - 600g Olive oil - 400g Coconut oil - 300g Safflower oil - 100g Sweet...

Hi Rattanjeet, I forgot to mention that I wrap my M&P soaps in cling wrap after drying and before storing them away. However, once I had to put my soaps away in a hurry, without wrapping them. They fared well because of the moisture absorber. Angie Gail is right. We do have to hurry and wrap...

Hi all! Am a new member. Have been making melt and pour soaps for some time. It is true that they sweat a lot. I un-mold my soaps after 12 hours, then leave them to fan dry for about 4 -5 days. After that I store them in a box with a pot of moisture absorber. That sorts the sweating problem for...
