[QUOTE="soapopera, post: 255455, member: 4282"] I use Beeswax in all my soaps. I like how the skin feels when I use soaps with it. I only use 1% in my recipe as I'm concerned that it would inhibit lather if I use too much (my lathering oil which is CO is also at quiet a low percentage already). I normally soaped at around a lye concentration of 28 to 32% and so far it's been behaving quiet well on my recipe (no super fast trace) but then again I'm only using 1%. It does not give any scent at all I'm afraid. I can't answer number 4 and 5 as my main concern was not that much about hardness. Not sure about Number 5 or quiet understand it. Depends on personal preference, castille or non castille is quite subjective. There's many debate about this topic in this forum. Try search 'bastile'. Personally I won't call a soap castille unless it's truly 100% Olive. [/QUOTE]
