Use of Propylene Glycol (PG) instead of Alcohol while making Melt and Pour Soap

 Proplyene Glycol  (PG) in place of alcohol with great results as follows.

• The price - Alcohol can be 4X as expensive as PG.
• Alcohol (Enthanol) boils at 173.1°F(78.39°C); PG boils at 370.8°F(188.22°C)
• Alcohol like water will evaporate from the finished soap causing more shrinkage
• Alcohol is restricted in many areas(countries) and making is difficult to procure alcohol.
• You may need a special permit to purchase large quantities for soap making
• You can purchase Specially Denature Alcohol (SDA) but these are also very expensive compared to PG
• PG allows the soap to be re-meltable
• Finally - people prefer (ethanol) Alcohol in a cocktail, instead of soap making process.

transparent soap making methods

Transparent soap formulation methods
Sorbitol could be used in providing thickness and texture to cosmetics. It is used in shampoos,body lotions, conditioners , creams, makup and skin care.

Mix all of the oils together and heat to 135°F + Add the lye water to the oils in a slow steady stream + 13 oz alcohol+3 oz liquid glycerin+8 oz sugar and 5 oz water and boil until the sugar is completely dissolved.

• Cover work surface with newspaper. Always use gloves and safety goggles when handling lye. (Learn all about lye in soap making.) Have vinegar on hand in case lye spills or splashes occur.
• Measure water into a heatproof container. Measure lye and slowly add to water, stirring until dissolved. (Never add water to lye.) Allow lye water to cool to 150°F.
• Mix all of the oils together and heat to 135°F - it's easiest to use a slow cooker for this. Add the lye water to the oils in a slow steady stream.
• Bring the mixture to a trace, or when it looks like vanilla pudding. An immersion blender works best for this.
• Keep the heat at medium for a few hours, much like making crock pot soap. When it reaches the gel phase, it will look translucent like petroleum jelly. Stir once in a while, but not all the time. If it gets too thick, you can use a potato masher and have a stainless steel one to be used just for this.
• After a few hours, take a bit of the soap and try to dissolve it in a cup of hot water. If it dissolves, you can move on. If it stays in a lump or has oil floating on the top, you need to "cook" it more.Leave it for half an hour and try again. If it's ready, then add:
• 13 oz alcohol - 70% or higher (NOT rubbing alcohol)
• 3 oz liquid glycerin 
• Be very careful as alcohol has a low flash point and can start on fire.  Prefer the crock pot to the stove for heating. You may need to mash the soap up some. Do a bit at first, then do more in a little while. If you mash too much at once, you may get a lot of suds. This process can take a few hours, so be patient.
• When the soap is all dissolved, there will probably be a few particles floating on top. These are impurities and must be removed. Skim them off and throw them away, or you can place them in a jar, cover with hot water, and use for dish soap.
• When the soap is fully dissolved combine 8 oz sugar and 5 oz water and boil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not leave any crystals undissolved. When it is totally liquid, pour into the soap base. Stir and cover, then cool to 145°F.
• Now you can pour it into a mold and use a glass cake pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for a week or so. When it is clear (it may take a week or two) then cut it into pieces and store in a glass jar.
