What Paulien Had to Say About the Recipe

Soap is made of natural oils and fats mixed with alkaline substance. Soap cleans your skin because it emulsifies or breaks up grease and dirt into small particles,which can then be washed away.

This soap is made by dissolving pure soap flakes in alcohol,water and glycerine. Glycerine soaps are good for the skin because glycerine is a humectant-it slows or prevents the evaporation of water from the skin.

The finished product will be clear soap that will clean and moisturise the skin.
