HOW TO MAKE HANDMADE SOAP

Glycerin soap is known that it's different from other soaps because it's translucent, this soap type contains glycerin, a component of fat or oil. A lot of people know glycerin soap is actually transparent soap. Transparent soap is also real soap...just because it goes through a hot process by adding sugar and alcohol as "solvents" to maintain the soap crystals from becoming opaque. Without this crystallization, the soap still clear. There are many soap recipes that you can select and modify the process to make them transparent.

Some people also call "melt and pour" soap as glycerin soap. This is also true but not 100% because there are clear and opaque melt and pour soaps.

To get started to make your own glycerin soap, you'll need clear glycerin soap base, coloring (food or cosmetic grade), stirrers, soap mold. Glycerin is usually sold in large blocks at crafts stores. Melting it by cutting it into small cubes that will fit in your melting pot, slowly heat & stir it until it's completely melted. Mix liquid coloring into bowl with a stirrer. (liquid coloring is very strong, so use it sparingly.) Pour in melted glycerin in the mold. Let it cool completely, normally about 2 hours. Using a bench scraper, slice block into individual bars.
