The simplest soap of glycerin
An easy way to start to formulate skin creams and beauty products is to begin with something quick and practical. I think that the best starting point is the production of soap based on glycerin.
Preparing a soap bar of glycerin is extremely easy.
It is often used as interesting activity for kids in primary school. 😉 So, if your son, daughter, or nephews are around, just do it together because it will be fun for both of you. 😀
So let’s start with the basic recipe!!
affiliate disclosure: this post contains affiliate links about products that can be used for this recipe.
Ingredients:
50g pure glycerin bar (you can find it here)
5g of soap dye for glycerin (a good option here)
1 plastic soap mold (you can find it here)
well .. these are the ingredients for a coloured pure soap bar of glycerin but if you want to personalise it keep reading.
Further ingredients:
20g Shea Butter (here where you can find it)
1 Green Tea bag (optional) …I love green tea
Procedure:
(1) Put the glycerin bar in a bowl and (2) melt it in a microwave (30 sec.) or in a water bath. After that, just put the dye and stir it.
If you want to prepare just pure glycerin bar, (6) pour the glycerin (now liquid) into the plastic mold. The presence of superficial bubbles can be removed spraying rubbing alcohol :). Leave the plastic soap mold in the fridge for 2-3 hours and you got it 😀
If, instead, you want to personalise you soap, just (3) add Shea Butter to the liquid mixture and when it is completely homogeneus (4) pour in it also the content of a green Tea bag. This will act as a gentle scrub for your hands while the Shea Butter will act as moisturizing and nourishing for your skin.
Once the mixture is completely homogeneous (5) pour it into the plastic soap mold and (6) keep it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
As promised the procedure is really easy and doesn’t require a lot of time! 🙂
easy and fun 🙂
