KMommy Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Is there something that can be added to M&P once it is melted to make it remain a liquid hand soap? I would imagine simply adding water would not be the answer because wouldn't that then require the addition of preservatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I dont think you can add anything to make m&p a liquid soap unless you want to get into preservatives, and even that just seems really difficult. Why not just buy a liquid soap base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thanks, I have alot of M&P bases and I was trying to save money by using it for more than one purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adefrier Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I've never tried this before but I have a recipe for making liquid hand soap out of m&p base.4oz white glycerin soap2c. watergrate soap. spread on cookie sheet and allow to dry for 72 hours. place water and grated soap in measuring cup and slowly melt in microwave. stir and cool mixture. if too thin, add soap. if too thick, add water. mixture can be reheated. when cool, pour into pump bottle.Like I said, I've never tried this but if you have extra base you may try it out. Let me know how it turns out if you do.Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks for the reply - sounds pretty easy! I am assuming that with the addition of water I will need to add a preservative. Anyone know what type(brand name)and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I use M&P in my foot scrubs and I like how it works in combo w/ the oils. I've had good reviews on it (now that I've gone to smaller sized salts ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 What a good idea! Do you use water in the scrub and a preservative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 NO water!!Off the top of my head your choice of oils, salts, pumice, EO/FO, and preservative besides the M&P soap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
