I would like to add glycerin to my cold process soap. How much would I add per lb of soap?
 
Why?

Making cold process soap creates glycerin, it really isn't necessary to add more. Excess glycerin can cause your soap to "weep" and feel sticky because it draws moisture, so I wouldn't recommend adding it unless you are making something like a shaving soap.

If you want to add more anyway, I would add a very small amount (maybe 3-5% max) to a test batch to try it.
