Details

Cut soap base into small pieces, and melt in the microwave at 30-second intervals (or use a double boiler), stirring until fully liquefied. Once melted, add cosmetic color, fragrance, and other skin-safe additives—this base can hold up to 5% total additives—then pour the mixture into a Crafter’s Choice mold and spritz the surface with rubbing alcohol to reduce bubbles. Allow the soap to cool completely before unmolding, then wrap it in airtight plastic wrap to preserve freshness. Melted soap is hot and should be used with caution; recommended for ages 15 and older.

Not impressed with this product

"The product says it is yellow beeswax, but mine are definitely white and seem to have more of a wax feel than actual beeswax. I feel that the texture is way too different than other beeswax I have used in the past, and it will change my lip balms negatively. I won't be purchasing this beeswax again."

— Christy (2/5)

Q&A

can this base be used for sugar scrub cubes: Yes you can use Melt and Pour soap in a sugar scrub
Se considera jabon narural?: El jabón no es natural por los ingredients
I purchased this base and made 4 bars of soap with the Monkey farts FO & EO .. I used one of the bars and it melted all the way down after one use in the shower. The bars were 3.5 Oz each. Why did it melt after one time of using?: Stearic Acid 3% or Sodium Lactate 1-2% can be added to Melt and Pour Soap Base to make it harder and last longer.
I was curious if the Sodium Laureth Sulfate used in this base was actually SLSa and not the Sodium Laureth Sulfate that can cause skin irritations. Thanks again for all your help. :): The ingredient label is correct, we do not use sodium lauryl sulfoacetate in our formula.
Is this glycerin soap? What do I tell my customers?: Yes, this is glycerin soap. You will need to label your final products with the ingredients since it is considered to be a cosmetic by the FDA.
