At Blossom & Sky, we pride ourselves on creating natural, handcrafted soaps packed with skin-loving botanicals, superfoods, and oils. Our soaps are designed to nourish your skin while embracing the beauty of nature. One unique feature of our bars is the occasional appearance of natural glycerin “sweat” on the surface. If you’ve noticed this, don’t worry—it’s a positive sign of the soap’s quality and authenticity!
What Is Glycerin?
Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid that is widely used in skincare, cosmetics, and even food products. It is a type of sugar alcohol derived from natural sources like plant oils (such as soybean or coconut oil).
What Is Glycerin Sweat?
When exposed to humidity, glycerin—a natural byproduct of our soap-making process—attracts moisture from the air. This results in small beads of dew on the soap’s surface, often called "glycerin sweat." This is a hallmark of high-quality, handmade soap and a testament to its natural ingredients.
Why Glycerin Is Amazing for Your Skin
Glycerin is a humectant, which means it draws moisture from the environment into your skin. This property helps keep your skin hydrated, soft, and supple. Unlike synthetic soaps, which can strip your skin of natural oils, glycerin-rich handmade soaps like ours nourish and maintain your skin’s moisture barrier.
Fun Fact: Glycerin is so effective at retaining moisture that it’s used in many skincare products, from lotions to serums!
Why You Should Love Glycerin Sweat
The presence of glycerin sweat shows that our soaps are free from harsh detergents or fillers that block this natural process. It’s an indicator that your soap is pure and full of nourishing ingredients. Plus, it’s a reminder of how nature works harmoniously with your skincare routine.
Caring for Your Natural Soap
While glycerin sweat is entirely harmless, here are some tips to keep your soap fresh and long-lasting:
- Store it in a dry, well-ventilated spot between uses.
- Use a soap dish with drainage to prevent it from sitting in water.
- If traveling, pack your soap in a breathable bag to minimize humidity exposure.

At Blossom & Sky, we believe in celebrating the natural, handcrafted process that makes our soaps so special.
