Is their a antibacterial M & P soap?

[leisa2003]

Was wondering if their is such a thing, or if you can add something to M&P to make it antibacterial?

Not that I know of and I fooled around with M&P for months. I know Bitter Creek North has anti Bacterial Gel that you can add scent and color to and rebottle but I seriously doubt you can add it to M&P base for the type of soap you are talking about.

The antibacterial component is usually triclosan. You can do a web search for information on this chemical.

I haven't run across any anti-bacterial bases yet. But I did find a recipe using lemon essential oil which has anti-bacterial properties. Lavender, tea tree, and eucalyptus are supposed to have anti-bacterial properties as well.

Thyme for lemon Melt and Pour Soap

This is a sweet scented Melt and Pour Soap Recipe with strong anti-bacterial properties.

2lb 2oz clear soap base

2 tsp coconut oil

1 tbsp Lemon essential oil

1tsp thyme essential oil

4 tsp dried thyme leaves

2 tsp grated lemon peels

A drop or two of yellow colorant

Molds of your choice

Follow the step by step instructions on melt and pour soapmaking.

Melt your soap base, add in your coconut oil and stir in. Set aside, let cool for a few minutes before adding in your fragrance or essential oils.

Add in your lemon peels and thyme leaves along with your essential oils. Pour into your mold, as your soap starts to thicken stir once more to make sure your lemon peels and thyme leaves are evenly distributed throughout the soap. If you don’t restir the soap, your thyme leaves will rise to the surface of the soap which is also attractive, and your lemon peels will sink to the bottom so the choice is up to you. Let harden, unmold, cut and use.
