Lorraine Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 in adding some extra glycerin to melt & pour soap bases?I picked some up at the store today but can't figure out where I read about it, or find any recipe that I may have copied down using glycerin as one of the ingredients! Not sure why I was thinking I needed to buy it! :rolleyes2 Oh my, I'm doing good, huh! LOL!Well...... Does anyone use added glycerin? What for? How much?I know, maybe I should just return the stuff huh? I even tried doing some google searches and came up with nothing! :tiptoe: Lorraine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 save it for when you start making your own home made liquid soap - it's a lovely additive to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I ALWAYS add extra glycerine to my MP soap!! It will enhance your soap greatly! If you do a search you should come up with several threads where using glycerine in mp soap is mentioned~ it's something that lots of us do and it's a wonderful thing!! Don't take it back!

beau's mama Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 No, keep it. In addition to adding it to your soap, you can play w/ it in making other products.I've been fooling around off & on w/ an adult product using glycerine...rub it on and...well...um...the glycerine heats up :rolleyes2 Plus, it taste sweet!

Lorraine Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thank you all so much for replying! I guess I'll keep the glycerin and keep searching for some recipes to use it in as well as trying it out in my M&P soap!Cindym~ I remember reading that thread! Thanks!!!CareBear~ I'll have to look for some liquid soap recipes! Sounds like fun!Prairieannie~ I'll have to do more searches today! I typed in different things and pretty much came up with where to buy Glycerin! I'll have to try wording it differently. Thanks for sharing!Beau's Momma~ Your testing sounds very interesting! LOL! Unfortunately it says on the bottle "Warning: Not Edible". But when I did those searches yesterday I found where it talked about glycerin being sweet and being used in food! That's what had me soooo confused! I guess the glycerin I bought is a cheap one? I picked it up at the craft store. Hardly ever buy anything there. I always purchase from suppliers on line. They had all of their soap and candle making stuff on sale 25% off! That got my attention (and money LOL!) Hope it's an ok product!Lorraine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbla Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 When you get ready to make edible massage oil, get glycerin from the health food store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
