Soap “sweating??

[BecT]

Hey all, trying to make some melt and pour glycerin soap yesterday and this morning they look like they have Tinybeans of sweat all over them. What did I do wrong? I did add food coloring and essential oils…

that's glycerin dew due to the humidity in the air. Different MP bases have different "sweating" tendencies. Ambient temperature/humidity also has an effect on MP soap.
If I am not immediately wrapping my MP soap after it hardens, I keep the soap covered until I am able to wrap the MP soap in either Saran Wrap or Shrink Wrap

You can spray with isopropyl alcohol and the sweat will evaporate.

The best to do for m&p is to put your freshly poured soaps on a rack and place a fan on them for a few days to cure them. Then wrap your soaps tightly in Saran wrap. My daughter used to cure hers on her bakers rack for at least 4 days with a small fan before wrapping and hers never sweated.

So true @ cmzaha .... It should be put under fan for min 24 hours .
Humid climate to be blamed for the dew that comes on the MP soaps.

Also, don't melt your M&P so much you accidentally start cooking it! I have seen this causes issues with my soap as well. If I over melt (start cooking) and don't wrap them immediately, this happens
