I got the Innovations Soap Creations soap making kit and one
weekend my mom, roommate and I tried our hands at melt and pour soap making. The kit comes with a melting pot and warmer, a
chunk of glycerin soap, and a mold. The
instructions are very simple. Cut chunks
of the soap, melt it in the pot, and then fill the molds. The pot is like a hopper with a valve on the
bottom so you can easily stop the flow while filling the mold. However the melting pot was a major disappointment. As the soap was melting it began to leak,
unknowingly to us, all under the warmer!
We thought maybe we got something in there that didn’t allow it to seal
completely so we cleaned it up well and tried to melt some soap a second time. Again, it leaked out of the pot onto the
counter. We manage to make 4 little
soaps with what didn’t leak out and added some essential oils and lavender
flowers to fancy them up. I would not recommend
this particular brand to start your soap making adventures.
