Easy Homemade Soap Flakes Recipe

Many recipes call for Ivory Soap Flakes. Unfortunately, the company stopped making this product in 1993.

You can make your own soap flakes by using any pure vegetable, castile or glycerin soap and grating it with a cheese grater. You can experiment with different types to get different smells and even colors.

Grate a bar fresh for use as needed in recipes, or grate several bars in advance and set in a shallow dish or cardboard box (shoeboxes work great) and allow flakes to air dry for a week or two. Once dry store in an airtight container.
