Compatibility and Mixing Instructions for White/Pink Petals Beads in Glycerin Soap

Yes, the White/Pink Petals Beads 9-15mm (Product ID 5941) can be used in glycerin soap.

The product description confirms that these beads can be used in all products and are especially suitable for clear products like glycerin soap, as this allows the beads to be seen clearly and beautifully.

However, it is crucial to follow the mixing instructions carefully to prevent the beads from breaking or deforming:

1. Add Last: Incorporate the beads into the melted soap base in the final step.
2. Avoid High Heat: Do not add the beads when the soap base is excessively hot. Allow the melted soap base to cool slightly (to a temperature where it is still liquid but not steaming, typically around 50-60°C) before adding them. High heat can cause the beads to break or deform.
3. Stir Gently: Stir very gently to distribute the beads evenly. The product description explicitly warns against strong turbulence, which can cause the beads to break.
4. Usage Rate: The recommended usage rate is 0.5-2%.
