Beeswax castile soap

[saluni]

Hi, does anyone have a basic recipe for a beeswax castile soap? Olive oil/beeswax/honey combination..

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

Why would you want to add beeswax to it?
Just go to www.soapcalc.net to see how much lye and water you need for the amnount of oil you want to use.

You could try 98% Olive oil, 2% beeswax, and add around a tablespoon of honey per 1lb oils at trace.

I'm curious why the beeswax.
But regardless, I agree with SA - 2%. I wouldn't go any higher. Already castiles are, shall we say, "lather challenged" and beeswax can suppress lather.

Perhaps the sugar content of the additional honey would compensate for this?
