How To Make Soap: Glycerin 101

Glycerin is going to be our soap base in the video. All you need is some sort of heat resistant cup (preferably with a spout), some glycerin (available at any craft store. it is also pretty cheap! the bag that i had was $6 for 32 oz, but it was half off and i had a coupon, so it came out to be like 2 bucks!) and whatever ingredients you want!

Step 1: Melt down the glycerin in the microwave (this usually takes like 20 sec. depending on how much you use)
Step 2: Add ingredients and stir
Step 3: Pour into mold
Step 4: Put the mold in the fridge or freezer (you will know when it is done because the bottom center will no longer be warm. If it is still warm, let it set about another 20-30 minutes.
Step 5: Cut and Enjoy!

I love how you grounded your spices to add natural smells rather than using artificial or heavily processed crap. Good tips :)

@majesticpondlily aw, thank you!

[MsRottoncandy]

can u put purfumes in the soap?

[aurorawindsong]

@MsRottoncandy probably, i never have. i don't think the scent would hold up since water would dilute it. you could try it though!
