What you need:
A grater
2 bars of soap (I used oatmeal and emu oil)
2 tablespoons glycerin (I used my 100% glycerin soap base)
1 gallon water (16 cups)
A big pot
What to do:
1. Grate all the soap
2. Put all “ingredients” in the pot. (2 bars grated soap, 2 tablespoons glycerin, 1 gallon water)
3. Put stove on medium until all the soap is dissolved
4. Turn off stove and let it be for 10-12 hours. After a couple of hours it will harden a bit and turn cloudy (I didn’t wait this long I let it set for 4-5 hours than put it in the blender to whip it up)
5. Pour it into an empty milk jug, an old “refill” soap container, reusable soap dispensers, mason jars etc.
*All soaps are made differently – if yours is too runny, remelt with more grated soap. If it’s too hard, add more water.*
The total cost for this was about $4.00-$5.00 for a gallon of hand soap, that is free from all the [toxic cocktails] most other soaps have.
