Natural Product with Unlimited Possibilities
I purchased this melt and pour soap base to create Christmas gifts for my friends and family - I wanted something that was easy as I have never made soap before, but something that was also good for the skin and all natural. I performed hours of research and made several test batches before I came up with a perfect soap to suit everyone on my list (recipe below).
1. After chopped into small cubes (1" x 1") the soap melted easy in the microwave - I placed it in a large pyrex measuring cup and melted in the microwave on 30 second bursts to prevent it from burning (I stirred it up between each 30 second burst) - I was super easy!
2. It smells a little like honey and does not contain any artificial ingredients. It is a glycerin soap so it has no color - I added colorants to my soap, but you certainly do not have to.
3. It is smooth and creamy and feels really nice on the skin - It does not leave a greasy or oily residue.
4. It lathers up pretty good, even with all of the extra ingredients I added to it
