Things you need:
2 lb white glycerin soap base
2 tsp yellow palm oil
1 tbsp lemon essential oil

3. When base is completely melted, carefully remove from the microwave and set aside to cool for a couple of minutes. If any scum has formed on the surface, just scoop it off with a spoon and discard.
4. Stir in the yellow palm oil.
5. Stir in the essential oils, making sure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Pour the soap into the mold.
7. Once the soap is completely cooled and set, turn it out of the mold and slice. It’s ready to use right away.
