Homemade Glycerin Soap 

I hate to be "that guy," but the only flowers you can put in MP soap that won't eventually rot & mold are cornflower & calendula. And, they must be thoroughly dried. Happy soaping!

One tip, 12:45 if you want the flowers inside the Soap, not floating as it is, just put a small layer of M&P Soap, than the flowers, wait a few seconds and fill the rest of the mould . By doing that, the Soap Will last longer with the flowers inside of the middle of the Soap rather than hardening on the top of the Soap.

No idea how I missed this one! I made several batches of olive oil soap. Lots of work, successful half the time! I'm going to try this. They are gorgeous! 👍😎🇨🇦

Thank you so much for your recipe. I love the natural dry flowers added!!❤

What a great video especially for beginners and great to get the kids involved on a rainy day. Thank you for sharing! ❤

I loved the last soap. It's truly travel friendly ❤

They are so cute!! Thanks for the demo, it fully demystifies the process. Very easy peasy 🙃

You make it so easy!! I was afraid to experiment but after watching this video, I am so empowered!!! Thanks so much

The flowers are a fabulous natural idea

Very nice. I think what i would try with the large bars, because the petals tend to float to the top, is make a half bar first and let it set, then pour the other half of the melted soap on top. That way, the flower petals end up in the center of the bar.

all of them are beautiful, I actually love the ones you think didn't turn out well, they look great to me.

Amazing! This looks so fun and cool! ❤🎉

Yeahhhh! A no lye recipe I'm so excited to try this. Thank you ❤

Thanks very much for this how-to! I'm going to try it!

Wow! Nice I leaned quite a bit. I would like to try this myself. Thanks for sharing.

I loved loved your video. I watched a couple of different soap makin videos, and i skipped through quite a few, but yours I watched all the way through. I like that theirs a quicker way to do this. Just put it in the microwave and melt great idea, I have molds and can't wait to try this!!!!

So fun…I’ll be trying this out soon! Thanks!

I love this video, I’m a RPLS of Texas, but even I can do this, I work construction side and we get filthy but harsh soaps take there toll, day in day out for 33yrs, lots of thinner, lava, safety clean orange, alcohol, mineral spirits

Thanks Jen. They turned out pretty good. I think I would do essential oils. Love Lavender

Oh Wow ! Many Thanks For The How-2 Jen ! Prayers For Royce ! ATB T God Bless

I would also love to try a super strong orange scent or strong peppermint. Commercial soaps are very light on scent but if it were not perfume-y, like orange - I would love that.

I am looking forward to make it with all my flowers

Your formula is excellent and scientific. I will promote your formula among people. Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful formula

Those are lovely!

Those are so pretty and I agree they would make great gifts or put out for guest soaps. I enjoyed this video and have decided to buy the materials and try it myself. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice watching you making glycerine soap which is easy , beautiful and harmless. I will make it. Thank you so much for sharing . God bless you richly.❤

really cool soaps .. i am gonna make mine from now on

Hey Jen! 👋 Cool craft idea, used to do preschool & elementary art programs, never got around to soap or candle making. My dad used to melt down old candles & pour in square litre milk containers surrounded in ice to give them a crackly surface effect. Have been fascinated with dipping tiny pods or cones in laquer or epoxy for jewelry. Can use fresh flowers, possibly predried in silica gel. People save wedding flowers that way, costs alot! Have been researching about history of Clichy millfiori 'whimsy' paperweights that glass factories used to produce. Flower canes ( & candy) are similarly created in polymer & wax for candle coating, etc. Photographed milkweed flower recently with naturally occuring 3-D 'magnified' visual to the 1/2sphere millfiori! Will try a paperweight cast kit! Thanks for vid! 😀

Watching this reminds me that there is no shortage of good people. ❤❤❤

FYI, that should be anise hyssop as the flowering purple spike; star anise is an aromatic shrub with pods shaped like stars. They both do have the “anise”or licorice smell, both nice, just different. 💜

Love them thank you so much for the video and helpful info!

What an awesome post!!! Thank you!!!!

Love it! I make goats milk soap, never tried glycerin before! Beautiful bars!

Love the video!!!! Omg so cute I’m. Going to try it!

It’s very beautiful art work😊

Love it! Great demeanor too; you’re like my buddy showing me how to do this 😊

So much creative:)

Thank you so much for this video! I will be doing this for a class. Just so surprised at some of the comments. This is soap made with your own spin and design on it! Something artistic and quick. There are plenty of "real" soap videos out there to check out if that's what you were looking for. Or maybe you are just trying to ruin someone's day. Be Kind Again thank you

Nifty stuff CJ!👍😃✌️

Amazing work 🎉❤❤❤❤😊

Soooo cool!

Hi! Thanks for the video, they look great! How is it that flowers look so natural and beautiful? In the long way of making soaps with flowers there is no flower that doesn’t rust as time goes by… not even calendula which is supposed to be the only one that lasts… Any specific treatment that you can share?

I was looking for this thank you for making it so easy! Other videos are so complicated and so many things added. But this was real simple. Quick question. In place of the alcohol, can I use sanitizer?

Thank you for this video, I love that I don't have to add any lye to this soap and wait several weeks for it to cure. However, I do want to know is, could I add some aloe vera gel to this soap base? And how would the aloe affect the after it's dried/cured?

Wow so beautiful ❤

I’m going to michaels soon I’ve been wanting to try making soap for years I’m retired now . Can you put oatmeal and honey , essential oils as well? I love your video the soaps are beautiful especially the bars !!!!!💕🌹💕

These are neat

Hi! Thank you so much for this video!! The glyericen I have is already liquid so I’m not sure how it would work in this recipe. What do you think?

Hey! So when using a soap base do you measure out natural ingredients your putting in there or? I want to make different soaps with benefits behind them! I want to add honey turmeric coconut oil etc? Does it matter?

Thanks for sharing i love this great idea to start soap making. Very sensitive skin also. 💙💚🌻

I liked the thin half bar w purple flowers the best. In Whole Foods they would.charge about $8 each for these is my guess. I like your idea about putting a little toy inside for kids. Wonder if you could put a striped peppermint candy or little candy cane inside for Christmas or a few lifesavers or would that not work out?

I like the half one the best

Very easy video thank you!😊

God bless you and you family

Beautiful ❤

Does this dried flowers have any benefit in soap or just to make beautiful?

Love this. Will the food coloring stain your skin when using the soap?

What a lovely idea for a personalised gift 🎁 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸 🌻 😊

Hola una consulta después no se oxidan las plantas en el jabón?

When u add botanicals into a melt n pour or even on top ur soap will turn brown. That’s not making homemade soap it’s melt n pour so it’s already made for u. A lot of soap makers like me use melt n pour to make embeds for our cold process soap that’s made from scratch. But, rule of thumb of soap making or soap melting Never use food coloring. Food coloring is dangerous to get in ur eyes and it can stain everything it’s not meant for soap any kind of soap. I’m not trying to be a pain in the ass, but hun if u make a video that’s awesome just make sure ur not showing ppl a dangerous thing. That’s not cool. However they make melt n pour I think from Bramble Berry that is formulated to keep additives suspended so it doesn’t sink on u. U can make a glycerin soap w walnut shell powder or poppy seeds for exfoliation. Get urself some micas or coloring liquid that is safe for private areas and ur eyes that won’t stain everything. Cured is not when a soap sits in a mold. Cured is how long a soap sits after the saponification process is finished and the only reason we let the soap sit 4-8 weeks is for excess water to evaporate. That process starts when the oil’s and the lye water solution comes together and they bond creating a new chemical makeup known as soap. There are 2 ways this happens 1, through hot process because ur cooking the soap and putting it through gel phase and that’s the same process how u make glycerin soap. Through hot process and then when ur soap is fully cooked the saponification process is completely. The other way is what I do and that’s cold process soap. Most bring on gel but it’s not required. I gel my soap’s. U can cut it between 18-24 hrs depending on ur water discount if any. It takes 48-72 hrs for the specification process to fully complete. Ur soaps are safe after this point even though u should ph them especially if ur selling them. If u don’t let them sit or “ cure” to evaporate the water then they won’t last really long. So u want them to sit for a good period of time so they can get hard. My soaps sit only 3 weeks but I do a 48% Water discount. I think it’s great that u wanna make soap have at it but ur not using safe dyes and ur miss using terms and ppl no knowing better r listening to u and then they are going to do this and throw a soap in the bath w there little one’s thinking there doing a good thing and that’s going to get into a child’s eye and possibly dye there skin and hurt there eye and then that parent is going to tell the ER Dr. I watch a lady in RU-vid making soap and I did what she said n then she’s going to tell them the random RU-vid lady said to use food coloring so I did. N that’s not going to end well for the mother and or if they sell it or give it away. It will be almost as bad as the ER so that’s why experienced soap makers r saying what they are saying to u.

Would it be a good idea to mix other oils with the glycerin???

I like the 'mistakes'❤

Wow sooo artistic,😍 how long does it need to be healed soo it is safe to use?

Thank you so much 😊❤

Hi, I’m wondering where you get your melt and pour soap base from? I’m thinking of making my own soap!

Beautiful

If you fill the mold half way then place you flower petals then let it set up. Then spray with alcohol and fill the rest of the way the petals will be in the middle.

cute! ❤️

It’s great 👍LOVE IT ❤

I might have to try this. Say for your bars, why don't you try filling the mold only half way, then add your flowers and let it set up before pouring in the other half? It would set all the flower bits right into the center of the soap.

Thank you x

This is fantastic. Whats interesting is that this can go hand and hand with the biofuels infustry. One if the by products of rendering biobdiesel is glycerine....one industry feeds another!

Cute!

They turned out beautifully! I wonder if your flower additives could be poured into a half bar like that one you did, and then add clear on top so the petals are in the middle. Would it fuse into one bar after drying and repouring on top of it?

Won't the dye stain your skin with the concrete of color in the molds?

If you don't mix the colours thoroughly, will it smear and stain your skin eventually?

Thank you so much for this video 🎉😂

What if you did half the mold add the flowers, let it set and add more soap? So the petals don't float?

Where did u buy the soap colors and fragnence pls sent me the link if u purchase in online

How about body fragrance oil same as the flowers 😊

Vert nice!

Amazing

Très joli

Respected madam, good morning. Really excellent.

Thanks 👍👍

Very nice ❤❤❤❤

So...melt and pour. Yeah. No big secrets there.

Can you link the square molds?

What happens with the botanical leached dies when using the soap on skin?

How did you dehydrate your flowers??

Amazing video! Can u use a double boiler to melt the glycerin instead of a microwave?

Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪. You mentioned purple bee balm. Does it look like a thistle flower without thorny spikes? Love the video thanks ☘

Don't the dried flower eventually clog the drain?

R u gonna change color when u use that unmixed soap?

Really lovely and❤❤❤

awesome

It is alcohol that gives soap batter transparency. Vodka or similar alchold is incorporated in soap batter.

This soap looks so pretty. I wonder how you make that glycerin base from scratch.

Cute doggie.. thx for ur video 😊❤🖖🇦🇺
