Benefits:

Pure glycerine soap is all-natural, unlike many over-the-counter soaps. Alcohol, perfumes, and other chemical-based components that could irritate your skin are not present.

Because of this, glycerine soap is a wonderful alternative for those with sensitive skin.

Whether from hot water or harsh treatments, bathing frequently strips your skin's natural oils. Glycerine can aid in retaining the moisture in your skin and preventing over-drying.

This could be especially helpful if you have a condition that causes dryness, like:

acne

dermatitis (eczema)

dry skin

psoriasis

rosacea

The added Tea Tree in glycerine soap has numerous benefits:

- Antibacterial Properties: Tea tree oil is known for its natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. It can help cleanse the skin and prevent the growth of bacteria that can lead to skin issues.

-Acne Control: Tea tree oil is often used to manage acne due to its ability to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and fight acne-causing bacteria.

-Gentle Cleansing: Glycerine soap is mild and gentle on the skin. It effectively cleanses without stripping away the skin's natural oils, making it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive skin.

- Moisturizing: Glycerine is a humectant, which means it attracts moisture to the skin. This helps keep the skin hydrated and can be especially beneficial in dry or cold conditions.

- Anti-Inflammatory: Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe redness and irritation, making it useful for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

- Natural Deodorizer: Tea tree oil's fresh and clean scent can act as a natural deodorizer, helping to neutralize odours.

- Fungal Infections: Tea tree oil is believed to have antifungal properties, making it potentially helpful in managing fungal infections like athlete's foot.

- Exfoliation: Some tea tree glycerine soaps may contain exfoliating particles that can help gently remove dead skin cells, promoting smoother skin.

- Aromatherapy: The invigorating scent of tea tree oil can provide a sense of relaxation and mental clarity, making your bathing experience more enjoyable. Moreover, glycerine is non-greasy. This means that anyone with oily or combination skin should consider it.

- Non-Toxic and Natural: Glycerine melt and pour soap is often made from natural and safe ingredients, making it a good choice for those who prefer to avoid harsh chemicals.

- Easy DIY Projects: Glycerine melt and pour soap is easy to work with, allowing you to create your own customized soap bars with various colours, shapes, and additional natural ingredients.

Remember that individual reactions can vary, so it's a good idea to do a patch test before using any new product, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. 

Making melt-and-pour soap with these glycerine bases couldn't be simpler; below are instructions to support you in your soap-making journey!

Note: When working with melted bases, exercise caution at all times. Keep away from children and pets. Own testing and recipes are necessary.

Instructions

Enough soap foundation should be cut off to fill your mould. (You can fill your mould with water and pour it into a measuring cup to check the amount you need; 1ml equals 1 gram. If you have a square or rectangle mould, you can calculate the volume by multiplying length by width by height). 

Place the smaller, approximately 1x1cm cubes of soap foundation in the jug.

In the microwave, heat the jug containing the soap base in bursts of no more than 10-15 seconds while stirring in between. Alternately, melt the soap in a double boiler or melting pot over medium heat, stirring often. Be careful not to boil the base. Gently whisk the mixture when all the soap blocks have melted.

Isopropyl alcohol should be lightly sprayed onto your mould (this helps the soap to adhere nicely to the mould and gets rid of surface tension making sure no bubbles are trapped between the soap and the mould)

Gently pour your soap into the mould. Rubbing alcohol should also be sprayed on the top to remove any bubbles.

Before removing the soap from the mould, let it completely harden. Depending on the size of your mould, this could take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. When the soap has dried, take it out of the mould and wrap it in plastic wrap (such as Glad Wrap) or shrink wrap as soon as you can. Glycerine is a humectant, attracting moisture from the air to itself, which is why it is moisturising for your body. Because of this, it also enables the soap to suck moisture from the air, causing glycerine dew drops on the soap called sweating. 

Now your soap is done and ready to use. Enjoy!
