Honey and Ginger Soap-Tutorial

So tonight I was making soap, and i decided to try a new combination.  I love the scent and the fact that its soft!  I'm sorry the pic is terrible, but here's what you'll need to make it:

1 c Glycerin (i used the melt and pour kind)
2 tsp Honey
2-3 pinches Ginger
1/4 c Shea butter

I used Glycerin that I had ordered online, You can buy it in the hobby section at most craft stores.  I've seen it at Hobby Lobby and at Micheal's before.  Cut off a big chunk of the glycerin, and a small chunk of the Shea Butter and melt it in the microwave in 30 second intervals, unless the packaging states otherwise.  I use a plastic cup, i just wash it and reuse it every time i make soap.  (I usually melt them in 2 different cups, follow package directions)

After the soap is melted fully, Stir it around.  Add in honey and stir until its an off white/tan color.  I like mine to be slightly tan, If its not reaching that color, you may need to add a little more honey.

once the honey is stirred in, add a few pinches of ginger and mix it in.  I like to also add half a pinch to the mold i'm pouring the soap into, just bc it makes the soap look prettier ;p

Pour into mold, and let cool.  Depending on mold size and depth, cooling times vary.  I usually wait 30 minutes.  Pop it out of the mold and enjoy!  I wrap mine in plastic wrap until i'm ready to use them, after ive used it once though i typically leave it out in the shower or by the sink!

I've found that soap using fresher ingredients (such as the honey) lasts 3-4 weeks before losing any color or scent. 

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  Here's a pic of what I made tonight.  I used this recipe for 2 of the bars.  The other bars in the picture are thyme, basil, and mint.

If you make it, Be sure to let me know how you like it!
