Sugars for cp soap

[Kathymzr]

Does anyone know if there is a chart somewhere, or is it just experience, on best addition for increasing lather (Bubbly)? Beer, aloe juice, plain sugar, powdered sugar, corn syrup, cane sugar, beet sugar—others? What seems to work best? Can maple syrup be used? Is it the same for cp and mp soap? Thank you!

I find Sorbitol works the best.

You can use any of those you've listed. Honey works as well. I've recently purchased some Sorbitol to give a shot upon Carolyn's recommendations. I just haven't gotten around to making any soap in a long time. Soon.......

I just recently found this through DeeAnna, where she mentions the testing done regarding additives to help lather.

It's in the beer thread a few posts down from yours, if you're interested.

I think there is a post from Modern Soapmaking that details many of these additives.

Wandering off to look...

Ah yes, here it is:

My two favourites so far are beer and aloe.

@KiwiMoose have you tried the combination of aloe and coconut milk? It's kind of my secret jam right now.

No, but i have both those in the freezer right now, and a day off work...

Have you ever used both in the same soap?
