can i melt glycerine soap bars in the microwave and make a new bar of soap?
i have several dial glycerine soap stubs ive been collecting in case i can refurbish them.can i just melt them all in the microwave?
A: I think if I were going to try it I might do it slowly on the stove. Melting it in the microwave seems like it might be hard to control.

They’re kept in a tight dark brown bottles, however bought sum $500. worth of essential oils and fats (like shea butter,ect) around 8 yrs. ago. I was wondering anyone out there who makes soaps, homemade cosmetics,ect. –do you know if these type products have a shelf life? They have been kept in a dark cool place all these time. Hoping to save them, use them instead of starting allover again I would definitely throw out the carrot, and the Shea butter as they are probably both rancid. All plants will yield an oil if pressed correctly and some of them go rancid within days and others will last for years. Any nut oil will go bad within weeks, and most vegetable based oils will go bad within a year. Flower and herbal oils can last a lot longer if stored correctly and sealed tightly. Look at your bottles and check for dates, and then smell them, if they smell bad they are, also look at the color if it is murky, looks separated, way darker, or way lighter than when you purchased it, then they are probably bad… Good Luck.
