Glycerine

[SoapSap]

Does anyone add Glycerine to their soap formulas? I know that handmade soap has glycerine in it naturally but is there any reason to add more?

I don't think there is any reason to add glycerin unless you come up with a special recipe.

i only add it to one recipe that i copied of a brand soap that had it in its recipe, but as lsg stated there is really no need for it unless you got a special recipe.

The only soap I add glycerin to is my shave soap.

Thanks. That is what I thought. I only asked because I accidentally purchased two bottles of it and now don't really know how to use it.

I too only use it in my shave soap.

You can use it to make liquid soap. That recipe is easy and fast and it is the method I use.

I believe there is a method of combining cp soap and glycerin to make a mostly-transparent soap, try doing a search.

If you have any KOH try the glycerin method for liquid soap as lsg suggested.

Mix it with rose water or orange blossom water or lavender water (and a teensy bit of preservative) for a super easy light moisturizer.

Make shaving soap.

I take back what I said a couple of posts up. I also make liquid soap with glycerin, duh (I had only bar soap on my mind when I wrote earlier).
