    Many people have probably seen the sale of handmade soap and noticed in some cases its rather high price. Such thing is every possible forms, colours and smells. The women pay much attention to their appearance. Proceeding from this, many enterprises began to produce soap with scrub. Others simply diversified the scents of the already existing assortment. So what is the nice glycerin soap recipe?
    1. Buy the necessary components. Glycerin, which is the basis of soap, is sold in craft stores in the form of solid melt blocks. If desired, you can make your own glycerin, but it's easier to buy pieces of colourless, white or coloured glycerin. Pure glycerine always looks transparent regardless of colour. In addition to this you will need:
    • Essential oils. In the shops for handicrafts, there will always be essential oils suitable for glycerine soap. You only need a few drops for soap, so buy a small bottle. Select lemon verbena butter, rose, lavender, peppermint or any other bouquet that you would like to apply to add the smell of your sweet.
    • Molds for soap. Different types of molds from the smallest to the largest sizes can also be found in the handicraft shops. Make sure that the bowl is suitable for glycerine soap in volume so that it does not pour out excess after filling dishes.
    • Alcohol. If it is not found in your home, buy it at the pharmacy. Pour a little alcohol into a spray bottle; it will need you to remove the bubbles in the glycerin until it is cured.
      1. Dissolve glycerin in the dish.  Cut as much glycerin for soap as necessary to fill the purchased forms, then cut it into small pieces to make it easier to melt. Put them in a saucepan filled with water in a boiler and place in the middle fire. Continue to warm glycerine until it completely melts.
      • If you do not have a steamer, you can make it look like that. Find two pans, one larger and one smaller, so that the second one is inserted inside the first one. Fill a large pan with a few cubes of water. Place a smaller pan inside the large so that it floats in the water. Put the pan on medium power fire. Put the pieces of glycerin into a small, dry puddle and let them melt.
      • You can also melt glycerin in a microwave oven. Put the bits into a machine and warm up for 30 seconds until they completely melt.
      • You can melt the whole bar of glycerine or simply cut off a bit, how much will it be enough for your soap making idea.  In the end, soap will have the same mass and consistency as a bunch of glycerin bits, only dressed in a beautiful shape.
        1. Add the essential oil. A few drops will be enough, since it is very concentrated, and the fragrance will persist for a long time. Mix the resulting mixture with a wooden spoon to create a homogeneous mass and remove it from the fire.
        2. Prepare the cups for soap. Place on a flat surface, covered with paper towels. Slightly sprinkle on the inside surface spray with alcohol, where glycerin is added. Alcohol prevents the formation of bubbles in a mile because it is able to cool and dry. If you do not use alcohol, your soap may eventually come bubble.
        3. Pour soap. Lift the top of the steam cooker and carefully fill the bowl with soap. Fill each form with edges. Be careful not to overpower, otherwise the soap will get shapeless.
        • If you cannot pour soap using a steam cooker, take a funnel to pour it into a bottle or a jug with a neck and then fill the mold with a liquid. You have to do it fast so that it does not cool down until it comes into the bowl.
        • Preheat the soap again before filling if necessary. To do this, place it back in the steam room or microwave oven for a few moments to make it easier to pour.
        • Sprinkle it with alcohol a little more. Use the spray for the soap you just spilled while it is in liquid state. By this method, you will avoid the formation of bubbles on the flat side of the soap.
        Let the soap to hold on, and then take it out. Leave the bars to cool in molds for an hour or two until they finally harden. Turn the mold to get your new glycerine soap. Gently press on the back of the shape if the soap does not go out. Keep soap in a sealed container until you are ready to use it.
      • Even without mastering this technique, you have wide opportunities for creativity and making glycerin soap: apart from the use of various components, the selection of original forms, you can also imagine and pack your handkerchief soap.
