This is a vegetable based soap that contains no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Glycerine Soap, Semi Transparent (Organic Ingredients) is a vegetable (glycerin) based soap base that can be melted and poured into moulds for slicing into bars or poured directly into fancy moulds for individual soaps.

It has a high glycerine content which makes it moisturising, good foaming properties and gives a good skin feel.

It is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate free and MPG (Mono Propylene Glycol) free.

The neutral base is unfragranced and may be used fragrance free or, with the addition of essential oils or fragrance oils of your choice with good fragrance projection. However, some essential oils may need to be “fixed” so that their aroma lingers for longer.

It has a pH of 7.5 to 8.5 before the addition of other essential oils, fragrances or actives.

It has a softer consistency than the Glycerine Soap, Solid, Clear, that we also stock.

HOW TO USE IT

Skin Care

It produces lots of foamy lather and has good cleansing properties along with good moisturisation to the skin due to its very high glycerine content.

Its neutral odour means that any essential oils you choose to add will add a beautiful fragrance.

Small quantities of vegetable oils such as Apricot Kernel Oil, White Poppy Seed Oil etc may be added for extra moisturising properties but be aware that these may make the finished product softer and produce less lather.

Should you choose to add vegetable oils we suggest no more than 2% is added. Active ingredients may also be added but as this is a wash off product, they are better used in a leave on product where the skin will benefit from them more.

DO NOT add water to your melt & pour glycerine soap base as this will make the end product slimy and not set up properly. If you are adding water based active ingredients or colours keep the amount added low. Do not add pot pourri refresher oils, diffuser oils or candle fragrance oils to your glycerin soap base as they may not be safe for use on the skin.

Hair Care

If you have very short or close cropped hair, the soap can be used to wash it and will leave the scalp moisturised. It is not however, designed as a shampoo bar suitable for longer hair.

Other

Highly fragranced soaps make great air fresheners for bathrooms, cupboards and drawers. When the fragrance has eventually diminished, the soaps are still great soaps for using on your skin.

RECIPES & BLENDS

Lavender and Spearmint makes a great, refreshing scent. Frangipani and Fragonia makes a very complex, floral aroma.

You may find that citrus essential oils need the addition of a fixative such as May Chang to help them remain longer in the soap.

Lime is quite robust but you will find that May Chang gives a more intense lemon scent than Lemon does.

The fragrance of mid notes & base notes tend to remain longer than top notes in the soap base but these are still lovely additions to a blend so don’t be afraid to experiment.
