Benefits:

Pure glycerine soap is all-natural, unlike many over-the-counter soaps. Alcohol, perfumes, and other chemical-based components that could irritate your skin are not present.

Because of this, glycerine soap is a wonderful alternative for those with sensitive skin.

Whether from hot water or harsh treatments, bathing frequently strips your skin's natural oils. Glycerine can aid in retaining the moisture in your skin and preventing over-drying.

This could be especially helpful if you have a condition that causes dryness, like:

acne

dermatitis (eczema)

dry skin

psoriasis

rosacea

Shea and cocoa butter glycerine melt and pour soap combines the moisturizing properties of shea and cocoa butter with the mildness of glycerine soap. Here are some potential benefits of using such soap:

- Deep Hydration: Shea and cocoa butter are rich in fatty acids and vitamins that deeply moisturize the skin, helping to alleviate dryness and promoting softness.

- Skin Nourishment: Shea butter is known for its high content of vitamins A and E, which nourish and protect the skin, while cocoa butter is rich in antioxidants that support skin health.

- Gentle Cleansing: Glycerine soap is mild and gentle, making it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive and delicate skin.

- Soothing and Calming: Shea and cocoa butter have soothing properties that can help calm irritated or inflamed skin, making the soap a good choice for those with conditions like eczema or sensitive skin.

- Improves Skin Elasticity: The natural fatty acids in shea and cocoa butter can help improve skin elasticity, which can contribute to a more youthful appearance.

- Reduces the Appearance of Stretch Marks: The emollient properties of shea and cocoa butter may help reduce the appearance of stretch marks over time.

- Protection from Environmental Stressors: Both shea and cocoa butter create a protective barrier on the skin's surface that can help shield it from environmental pollutants and harsh weather.

Making melt-and-pour soap with these glycerine bases couldn't be simpler; below are instructions to support you in your soap-making journey!

Note: When working with melted bases, exercise caution at all times. Keep away from children and pets. Own testing and recipes are necessary.

Instructions

Enough soap foundation should be cut off to fill your mould. (You can fill your mould with water and pour it into a measuring cup to check the amount you need; 1ml equals 1 gram. If you have a square or rectangle mould, you can calculate the volume by multiplying length by width by height). 

Place the smaller, approximately 1x1cm cubes of soap foundation in the jug.

In the microwave, heat the jug containing the soap base in bursts of no more than 10-15 seconds while stirring in between. Alternately, melt the soap in a double boiler or melting pot over medium heat, stirring often. Be careful not to boil the base. Gently whisk the mixture when all the soap blocks have melted.

You may now add your chosen colour. Use mica dust or liquid soap colour. Instructions for colour fragrance below:

Liquid: Add 1 drop of liquid soap colouring at a time and gently swirl until you are satisfied with the colour. Liquid colours do have a tendency to leak into one another, making them unsuitable for colour layering.

If you're using mica, measure out a small amount on a popsicle stick or spoon, depending on how intense you want the colour to be, and pour it into a mixing bowl. Mix well after adding a few drops of isopropyl alcohol. To prevent the mica powder from clumping together and producing an uneven colour or colour clumps in the finished soap, we first scatter the mica in alcohol. Once you obtain the desired colour, gradually incorporate this combination into the soap. While stirring, be gentle. Bubbles can be produced by vigorous stirring.

Optional: Put your fragrance in after the colour has been added. In melt and pour, fragrance oils are typically used at a rate of 1%. This would entail adding 10ml of scent to 1000ml of melted base. This may vary between suppliers and manufacturers, so be sure the fragrance oil is skin-safe and always check each supplier's suggested consumption rate first. Essential oils are another option. Draw the required quantity of fragrance from the bottle using a pipette, then pour it into the soap. It will be possible to check that the fragrance oil has been thoroughly incorporated by gently stirring for 20 seconds.

Isopropyl alcohol should be lightly sprayed onto your mould (this helps the soap to adhere nicely to the mould and gets rid of surface tension making sure no bubbles are trapped between the soap and the mould)

Gently pour your soap into the mould. Rubbing alcohol should also be sprayed on the top to remove any bubbles.

Before removing the soap from the mould, let it completely harden. Depending on the size of your mould, this could take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. When the soap has dried, take it out of the mould and wrap it in plastic wrap (such as Glad Wrap) or shrink wrap as soon as you can. Glycerine is a humectant, attracting moisture from the air to itself, which is why it is moisturising for your body. Because of this, it also enables the soap to suck moisture from the air, causing glycerine dew drops on the soap called sweating. 

Now your soap is done and ready to use. Enjoy!
