I want to make soap using the most organic products since I want to make it gentle enough to use on my face. I was able to buy some glycerin from michael's but propylene glycol (an alcohol) was listed as the second ingredient. My soap making book says alcohol dries out the skin and should not be used by anyone with dry or sensitive skin. The author says that purchasing soap bases made with vegetable oils and without animal by-products or fillers like wax and alcohol would be best but I can't seem to find any online. I have been able to find some vegetable based glycerin but propylene glycol is still listed as an ingredient. Is there no avoiding alcohol? I'm also looking for the best deal out there for vegetable based glycerin since supplies are so expensive.
Is there a difference between raw vegetable glycerin which seems to be in liquid form and melt & pour vegetable based glycerin? http://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/g ... p-540.html

Could you use it and if so, how? Would you still melt it before pouring? Thanks!
