Homemade body soap

I found a cool recipe a few weeks ago, on Pinterest!
I loved the idea so I made it!



Here's what you need:




Cheese grater

2 Tablespoons of Liquid Glycerin (found in the band aid section at any drugstore or grocery store)

1 - 8 oz bar of soap

1 gallon of water





Step 1:

Grate the entire bar of soap










Step 2:

Fill a pot with 1 gallon of water and add the soap shavings


Step 3:

Add 2 Tablespoons of liquid glycerin and turn the heat to medium/high for about 20 minutes and stir until the soap dissolves.



Step 4:

This is what it looks like once it's dissolved, basically just soapy water.


Step 5:

Leave it alone to cool for at least 10-12 hours. It begins to cloud up after 3-4 hours

Then you have a gallon of soap that would normally cost $25 - 30 dollars!
