    Seriously?! I had no idea people did that, assumed they were doing like me, lye and fat. Saw an idiot woman on YouTube post:

    “NOT using lye on MY skin!”

    Replied:

    “It’s no longer lye after the chemical reactions. And this is why we need better science education for small children. You would have failed my 4th-grade science class.”

      Yes. Melt and pour soap uses glycerine soap that people buy in huge blocks at the craft store, like Michael’s. They melt it, add colour, trinkets, glitter, and perfume, and pour it into moulds. Arts and crafts.

        Actively adding glitter to our waterways really seems to be the dumbest thing about all of this.
