Glycerin Soap Recipe

When people ask for a glycerin soap recipe, they usually mean a melt & pour recipe. Melt & Pour (MP) is one of the easiest methods for soap making.

It basically consists of buying a pre-made glycerin soap base, that can be transparent or opaque, melting it and than casting it into a mold with the desired shape, fragrances and colorants. It’s a pretty straight-forward process that even kids can do, as long as supervised by a responsible adult.
