DIY Glycerin Soap

Believe it or not you can make these soaps in your slow-cooker.

The Ingredients

(Soap-making supplies are available at craft stores)

oven-safe dish(es) (ramekins) to put in the crockpot
1 pound glycerin blocks
fragrance (extract or essential oil)
soap coloring
soap mold
a few wooden skewers for stirring

The Directions

Use a 6-quart slow cooker.
NOTE: do not put glycerin directly in Slow Cooker.

Put an oven-safe dish (or two) into your stoneware and add the separated blocks. Cover and cook on high for about 1 hour, or until the glycerin is all liquidy. Using oven mitts,carefully pour liquid glycerin into each mold. Add fragrance and color. A bit of fragrance goes a long way, but you do need quite a few drops of color. Stir with a skewer.

Let soap cure for about 1 hour before removing from the form.

If you wait until it’s fully cool, it pops out of the mold much more easily than if you try to rush it.

Repeat steps until you run out of glycerin.

note: Glycerin soap sweats. Evidently this is normal. Suggestion:Wrap your homemade soap in cellophane bags,not paper products for storage
