Chop up about  1 lb (0.45 kg) of soap or glycerine into cubes 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) in size. These small pieces melt evenly so your finished batter is less likely to be chunky. Using small chunks also prevents the batter from burning while you stir it.  You can also try shredding the soap with a grater or vegetable peelers. Glycerine is a common base available online or at craft supply stores. It is made with lye like any bar of soap but doesn’t have any active lye in it, so it’s safe to touch. Choose white and clear-colored soaps if you plan on adding coloring later. Darker soaps aren’t as great for customizing, although you can still add fragrances and thickeners to them. The container you need depends on how you plan on melting the soap. The easiest way to do it is on a stovetop. Simply place the soap in a stainless steel pot, crockpot, or double boiler. If the stove isn’t an option, melt the soap in a microwave. If you use a microwave, choose a microwave-safe. Look for a label on the bottom of the container or on its packaging. Heat the soap on a stovetop or in your microwave to about 120 °F (49 °C). Move the melting soap around with a rubber spatula to help it melt. Don’t let it sit still for more than 30 seconds or else it may burn. Stir it until it reaches a smooth consistency.  If the soap batter looks thick and dry, mix a little bit of water into it. Add water gradually, stirring the batter to keep it at a liquid consistency. Many soap bases reach a good consistency within a couple of minutes. Depending on the base you use, you may need to keep stirring for 15 minutes or more to make the batter smooth. If you’re using a microwave, heat the soap for 30 seconds at a time. Give it a good stir to distribute the heat. Soap bases begin to burn around 140 °F (60 °C). Use a kitchen thermometer as needed to track the temperature. Fresh-brewed coffee and tea change the batter’s color but don’t often leave much of a smell in the finished product. Mix in some blended fruits or vegetables to give your soap a deep, vibrant color. Soap dyes are another option for unusual colors. Also, use colored salt and spices for additional variety.  For example, add about 2.6 oz (74 g) of pink Himalayan sea salt to turn a batter pink, or mix in a little tumeric to give the batter an orange color. Brew coffee and tea separately from the soap batter. Remove coffee grounds and tea bags before adding the liquid to the batter. Stir a few drops of any essential oil into your batter to customize it. Flowers and herbs are some alternatives to essential oils. Try using ingredients like powdered beet root or sandalwood. Ingredients like vanilla, honey, and brown sugar can also give your soap a pleasant quality that makes it difficult to put down. Whole flowers and herbs lose color over time and may discolor your soap. Try placing them on top of the batter after you pour it into the mold instead of mixing them in. For softer soap bars, heat cooking oil in a separate pan, then mix it into the batter. Olive oil, coconut oil, and vegetable oil are a few good options for softer, silkier soap bars. Some people melt glycerine cubes to add to the batter. To thicken the batter, add a scoop of oatmeal, honey, or beeswax.
