How to Melt and Pour Glycerin Soap

Glycerin soap is a popular type of soap that many people use because it is gentle on their skin. It also does not contain all the harsh ingredients that many of the other types of soap on the market contain.

Making your own Glycerin soap at home is a simple process and can be done by following a few simple steps.

1. Purchase a 1-pound of glycerin soap base.


2. Place the soap base in a double boiler and place it over medium heat. If you do not have a boiler you can place it in the microwave.


3. Place the bowl in the microwave on the high setting for 30 seconds. If the soap is not completely melted after the time has elapsed place it back in for another 30 seconds.


4. Remove the melted soap from the microwave and place it on the table.


5. Pour some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and light spray it on the top of the melted soap. This should be done to eliminate the bubbles that may have risen to the top of the soap.


6. Pour the melted glycerin into four bowls if you desire to make more than one color.


7. Put a couple of drops of soap gel coloring of your choice in each bowl.


8. Add the fragrance of your choice to the mixture.


9. Use a wooden spoon to mix.


10. Pour the liquid soap mixture into the molds and allow them to set overnight.


11. Carefully bend the sides of the mold to remove the soap. The soap is now ready to be used.
