New Glycerin Soaps


I just added a new line of glycerin soaps to Soap Rehab! After searching high and low, I found a great soap base to work with that contains only simple, natural ingredients, and has no added synthetic detergents. Cold Process soaps also contain glycerin, as a natural byproduct of the soap-making process, these soaps just contain added glycerin which results in a different look and feel. My cold-process soaps are made entirely by hand...which involves melting all the different oils, mixing up a lye/water solution and combining the lye with the oils at the correct temperature. The chemical reaction that results, called saponification, turns the fats (oils) into soap. By contrast, glycerin soaps are made from an already manufactured base that is easy to melt, remelt and pour as necessary. Glycerin soaps have a different feel, due to the added glycerin content. Very smooth, these glycerin soaps have a nice bubbly, silky lather. Glycerin is a wonderful emollient, which softens and smooths the skin. Check out the new soaps at http://soaprehab.com
