- #glycerinesoap #soapmaking #handmade #handmadesoap - For crying out loud! This is DEFINITELY the updated and correct version of this transparent soap recipe and method, after uploading the wrong edit not once, but TWICE!
Never have to buy pricey Stephensons transparent melt & pour base ever again by making your very own transparent soap base at home. This is a reboot of an earlier video. How to make transparent soap appears to be a popular search, so it seems weird that my earlier video was low on views (YT algorithms?). So, I thought I'd reboot it and give it another go in the hope it reaches more people who, like me, have struggled to find a user-friendly transparent soap recipe to make at home. When I was exploring making my own transparent soap from scratch, most of the videos I could find seemed a bit too scientific, overly complicated, involved a microwave and less accessible ingredients, moreover, they were mostly from countries which weren't English speaking and therefore the only details were from sketchy auto translations! A bit more research led me to a couple of transparent soap recipes, using hot process soap making methods in a crockpot, and to me, these seemed far easier for homemade soap making. However, all the crockpot recipes stemmed from the United States, were in imperial measures and used American brand name products, like Everclear, that we don't have in the UK. Soooo, I endeavoured to formulate my own transparent soap recipe, in grams, using more generic ingredients that, hopefully, can be found and purchased the world over.

Very good teaching
Thank you so much for explaining so thoroughly ❤
You are so welcome!
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for this recipe! I greatly appreciate it. I've been looking for a simple, chemical free DIY melt and pour recipe. Thank you again!!
Well... it took me three tries to upload the correct edit of the video (that wasn't missing the section where the lye is added), so your comment makes it all worthwhile! Thanks!
This is a very good explanation❤. Thank you so much. My question is that if the preparation of the soap was on a low heat all throughout the process of making it. Thank you
I melted the oils on high (at least I think I did - it was a while ago now), then turned it to low, but as a slow cooker doesn't get really super hot anyway, I suspect the whole process could be done on high. I'm sure it would be possible to do it straight on the hob, but it might be dodgy on a gas hob because of the alcohol and flames mix!
Thank you ma❤
Wow very nice so clear. Thanks. It requires petions isn't it.
It takes about an hour, so not a long process.
Nicely explained. But I have a doubt. Do we need so much glycerine and alcohol? I tried with 25% sugar +30% glycerine +50% alcohol of oil weight. The soap came out pretty good. I had taken 5% castor oil +95% coconut oil.
If that works for you, it works for you! This is just the formula and method I came up with that worked for me, and am passing it on. I've found there is usually more than just one route to achieving successful results. Regarding the alcohol, which is really the magic ingredient for getting a really transparent result - because this evaporates off, so is not really an end ingredient in the resulting soap, as long as enough is used to fully dissolve the other ingredients, I suspect a lower percentage should do the trick, but I don't know what that ratio is. I also guess the ratio will depend on what oils are being used. On Castor Oil - I did see this being used in one formula during my research. However the maker mentioned there was a slight brown tinge to the end soap, which she attributed to using castor oil, so that is one reason why I opted for just the coconut oil and stearic acid.
Beautiful
Recipe. Would 40% vodka work?
No. You want to use isopropyl alcohol at 99% purity to get the best solvent action. It's really important if you want to get it very transparent. 40% vodka means it's 60% water (and maybe some other impurities) and water will not solubilise the oils.
Bonjour , comment calculer la quantité actif pour faire du savon transparent s'il vous plaît ?
S0rry, I don't speak French. My bad.
How much liquid (extract, fragrance oil) and solid (powder like Niacinamide, etc) could you add to this melt pour for it to become solid again?
I have no idea. I don't actually use melt and pour soap as I mention in the video, I just know how the bases are made. As the percentage of additives like niacinamide is usually very low, I can't imagine there being an issue with it not setting. On another note, I remain unconvinced of the benefits of putting expensive active additives like niacinamide into soap in the first place, given that it is immediately washed off the skin.
Need to control humidity to avoid soap sweating?
It will sweat because glycerin is a humectant and there is a LOT of glycerin in this soap. I would advise wrapping it in plastic wrap as soon as the finished product is made, regardless of your ambient humidity. I kept it, unwrapped, in a room with a dehumidifier, but it stll sweated somewhat, though as it was just for my experiments and not customers, I wasn't too concerned about it.
Would 40precent vodka work thank you for recipe
