Lye Soap
How to make soap with a Lye alternative.?
I am making soap for my speech class and I don’t have time to order Lye from the internet, and I cannot buy it in stores where I am from. I saw that you could melt down Neutrogena’s transparent glycerin soap bar, and use that as a base, or something relatively close to that.
Do you think that’s safe and will actually work out well?
I am running out of time and need to make this soap work!
A glycerin based soap is a much healthier replacement for your traditional store brand. The glycerin soaps can be decorated and colored any way you choose. Just follow the easy steps below to make non-toxic glycerin soaps without using lye.
Step 1
Cut the glycerin block along the premeasured lines with a utility knife . Usually about two to three cut pieces will make one bar of soap, or multiply the cuts needed by the amount of molds that you will be using.
Step 2
Place the cut glycerin into a double boiler. Melt until it becomes a clear liquid. Once melted, remove the pot holding the glycerin from the heat and place it on a hot pad.
Step 3
Add the food dye to the melted glycerin, and stir until desired soap color is achieved. The more dye that is added, the deeper and more opaque your soap color will be. You may also decide to leave the soap clear colored to show more of the embellishments that you may be using.
Step 4
Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, to fragrance your glycerin bar. The more essential oil you add, the more fragrant the soap will be. You can use aromatherapy essential oils to create a mood, or other fragrances such as florals or fruits for show soaps to scent the room.
Step 5
Add fun things to your glycerin bar. Beads, small trinkets, buttons, anything that will make it look pretty. You can add things that the kids would like, too. Everyone in the house can have their own specially designed glycerin soap bar.
Step 6
Pour your completed liquid mixture into the soap molds, and allow to cool for at least an hour. When it is cooled, you are ready to use your new bar of homemade glycerin soap.
