How to Make, Melt & Pour Bulk Glycerin Soap

You can make soap easily using glycerin.

If you are attempting to make a larger bulk batch of soaps, it can be more costly to use soap-grade oils that are used in cold-process soap making. One alternative is to create a bulk batch of melt and pour soap that uses glycerin. Not only are glycerin soaps easy to create, but they do not use caustic ingredients, such as lye and do not require weeks to cure before using them.

Things You'll Need

• Melt and pour glycerin base
• Pot
• Stove
• Essential oil
• Soap molds

Instructions

1. Place the glycerin soap base into a pot.

2. Heat the base over medium heat until it melts.

3. Add 2 tbsp. of essential oil into the base and stir the mixture well. You can select any fragrance you prefer.

4. Pour the soap mixture into individual soap molds.

5. Allow the soaps to cool completely, which can take up to six hours.

6. Pop the soaps out of the molds and use.
