are you experiencing high humidity? it is the moisture being drawn by the natural glycerin in your soap. it's harmless, but it is a little freaky at first touch! some soapers will dry them out with a dehumidifier or fan, but i let mine sweat!- kat e wampus

Goat Milk Lotion- How to- Recipes and Tips
i've been making GM lotion for years and it is one of my best sellers. :) my rule of thumb is roughly 30% oils/butters, 40% distilled water and 30% GM. be sure to use appropriate preservatives. my recipe has been successfully challenge tested using phenonip. :)- kat e wampus

Soap Makers Help!
when i make my GM soap, i use as much distilled water as i use lye, and add the remaining liquid of GM to my oils. cuts way down on overheating, discoloration and that awful ammonia stink. HTH karen - soapmaker since 1999- kat e wampus
