Directions
- Slice soap into thin 1/8" strips for quick, easy melting.
- Place sliced soap into the Pyrex measuring cup and microwave for approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute on high. The melting time will vary depending on the amount of soap. Remove and stir lightly. Continue to microwave at 15 - second intervals until completely melted.
- While the soap is melting, mix the glycerin, Witch Hazel, Vitamin E, colorants and fragrance oils together.
- Add the additives and mix until well blended.
