What is Glycerin Dew?
On warm and humid days or in places where a lot of moisture is present sometimes you might see a crystal “dew” or “sweating” on your glycerin soaps. The more humid the environment and the more humectants in the soap, the more likely you’ll experience this phenomenon. Other humectants in soap such as honey and castor oil may make your soap sweat even more. This is normal and is a natural reaction of high glycerin soap in a humid environment. The glycerin in the soap actually pulls moisture out of the air, making for a soap that is not drying to the skin and does not affect the quality of the soap in any way. There is nothing wrong with your soap! Washing with the soap removes the surface dew. Keeping them tightly wrapped also helps to prevent the dew from forming.
