I've been using Vegetable Glycerin to mix my micas before adding to soap batter. I find it to be very thick and a pain in the rear. Although maybe that's just because of my frother.
Anyway, I was talking to (boring) a friend today about soaping and how I mix my colors. She tells me there's another type of glycerin that she uses as a skin moisturizer and softener. She goes to her bathroom and brings back this bottle of glycerin that she says she bought at Wal-Mart. Only thing is, it's not vegetable glycerin.
My question is, since she uses it on her skin and it's labeled as safe for skin, would this be an acceptable alternative to vegetable glycerin? It's a little thinner than vegetable glycerin is why I ask. Has anyone used this type of glycerin to blend their micas?
