HOW IS VEGETABLE GLYCERIN MADE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of coconut oil and 1 cup of olive oil in a saucepan and stir the mixture.
• Now heat the blend for about 2 minutes till you see the coconut oil melting.
• Mix about 2 tablespoons of lye into 1 cup of water in a glass container, particularly a heat-safe one.
• Add the lye and water blend to the saucepan and mix it well so that the ingredients are combined.
• Continue heating the mixture for about 20 minutes, until it reaches 125 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a clip-on thermometer for measuring the temperature.
• Once you have achieved the above-mentioned temperature, turn down the heat to medium-low, until it falls to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and continue stirring it for 15 minutes. The mixture should thicken now.
• Remove the saucepan from heat and add half a cup of salt to it. Mix both of these well.
• Let the mixture rest for about 30 minutes. You will be able to see the soap and glycerin separate into different layers.
• Using a spoon, lift the layer of soap and keep it in a different container.
• Transfer the glycerin into an airtight glass bottle and store it in the refrigerator. This vegetable glycerin can stay up to 4 weeks but if you see a cloudy texture or feel a foul smell, then do not use it.
