The Goat Soap Base comes in a block, which can be easily cut into cubes (like cutting butter!) so to make it easier on myself, I used about 1/2 a block at a time. So what you are going to do is cut half of the block in cubes (they are already started for you, so its super easy) and put them in a glass bowl or glass measuring cup. You are going to set it in a pan with boiling water. (Or you could use a double broiler, but this method works the same.) You are going to melt the goat soap base until it is completely melted. Stirring along the way helps. I have seen others us a microwave but I find this prevents you from over-heating the goat soap.
