    Thanks for pointing me in that direction, @Pharma. I’ll have a look, much appreciated!

    Thanks @Bill_Toge and @Pharma for your inputs!

    Yes, mixing 2 finished products. I’m trying to create a rinse-off body scrub, but with o/w emulsions i find that it rinses off too cleanly with no residue. I want an occlusive layer left behind, which I achieved when i mixed in a small percentage of a w/o from a previous project. Off the bat it looks really stable, i guess i’ll only know how it’ll hold up against time :)

    i think water content in honey varies. If the water activity in the honey is low enough, microbes will be unable to grow. However like gomorrian said, the only way to really know is to do testing.
