Teach Soap

Hi!
I dont have any reliable suppliers of MP base here and importing from BB is very expensive for me.

So i was wondering if it is possible for me to make it at home in bulk and use when ever needed.
I would like to make different types of the base and keep customizing it later.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

You can make your own, but you will need ingredients like this:
Propylene Glycol
Vegetable Glycerin
70% Sorbitol Solution
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
Stearic Acid
Myristic Acid
Triethanolamine (TEA)

or
Propylene Glycol
Vegetable Glycerin
70% Sorbitol Solution
Bio-Terge 804
Stearic Acid
Myristic Acid
Triethanolamine (TEA)

Another way to make your own is with a sugar solution and and high proof alcohol (not vodka from the store). It's expensive, time consuming and definitely not easy.

Propylene Glycol is a solvent. It's what makes the soap clear.
This is crock pot MP soap. It won't be as clear as commercially made.

I think this recipe ^ from the Youtube video is the best one - no nasty additives and Im going to try it tomorrow
Vegetarian Formulation:
141 grams 5oz Distilled Water (for Lye)
73 grams 2.6oz Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
141 grams 5oz Castor Oil
170 grams 6oz Coconut Oil
170 grams 6oz Palm Oil (or tallow)
255 grams 9oz Propylene Glycol
85 grams 3oz Glycerin
85 grams 3oz Sugar dissolved into 85g 3oz Distilled Water

Other than the propylene glycol I had all the ingredients at home but if you havent made hot process soap before then I think you should do a few batches first of just normal soap to see how it goes. Compared to some recipes or secret societies of making M&P this recipe makes it seem easy enough to do yourself if you know how to do hot process soap. Hope that my batch will work out!
