Glycerin is a thick liquid that has no smell or color and is commonly used in household and bath products. Glycerin is also used in some foods as a filler or thickening agent and has a slightly sweet taste. Pure glycerin has antibacterial properties and can be used to treat bites, rashes or burns on the skin. Commonly used in soap, a homemade soap can be made with liquid soap and glycerin fairly inexpensively and easily. Liquid glycerin can be purchased at many natural health and beauty stores.

Add 1 cup of clear liquid soap to the water in the blender jar and close the jar with the lid. Blend until combined.
