Soap making 101 course Special soaps

[Habibe Keskin]

The course has asked me to find a Glycerin Based soap recipe and upload into the forum. I am not sure if this is how it is done.

I found this recipe and after reading the recipe I have realised it actually sounds good to my eyes.

Hello and Welcome! Are you asking if this is a good recipe to follow or is there something else? I don't do a lot of MP but have read and heard not to add more than a tablespoon or so of other oils/butters to MP. That seems like a lot for 8 oz of MP soap. And sounds overly scratchy.

What do they mean by "glycerin based"? Or is that a typo and you meant "glycerin base"?
