"Is it a requirement to list the soap base as an ingredient on your packaging label and if so, how is it listed, i.e. goat milk soap base? I've never seen this before on any soap so I'm wondering if it even needs to be identified as an ingredient."

Staff Answer You will need to include all ingredients listed for this soap base on your final label. Our basic and premium soap bases are not considered true soaps by the FDA and require all ingredients to be listed.

"I added 3% Kojic acid melted in a distilled water and 1% of fragrance. I’ve melted everything separately and mixed the ingredients together. My soap does not get hard and is too gummy to be removed from the soap mold. What could be causing this? I’ve tried to create a Kojic acid soap with this base 3 times, each time failed."

Staff Answer We have never added this ingredient to our soap base so we are not sure why this is happening. It does seem that there is too much liquid being added to the soap if it is not hardening or this ingredient is just not compatible with our soap base.

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Be sure you are adding fragrance within the correct IFRA guidelines. We recommend 3% on an average but you can go as high as 6%. If the soap was placed in the freezer, this can cause moisture or tackiness on the soap. Let set out until it is back to room temperature. Also, you can spritz soap with rubbing alcohol and pat with paper towel.

Staff Answer Maximum fragrance usage for MP soap is 3%, which is 14.5 ml or 0.5 oz per pound. As long as the fragrance used has an IFRA rating of at least 3%, you can use this much in your soap.

Staff Answer You can use any fragrance oil in our soap bases. If the fragrance oil contains vanilla, we recommend blending with the Vanilla Color Stabilizer for MP Soap to help keep the soap from darkening.

Staff Answer The percentage of ingredients is considered proprietary information and is not available to the public. We do not certify any of our products as organic. If you are looking for a more natural soap base I would recommend trying one of our Detergent Free Soap Bases. http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/soap-making-supplies/melt-pour-soap-base/detergent-free.aspx

Staff Answer The ingredients are listed by their proper chemical, natural or scientific name. If there is an acceptable abbreviation, it would also be listed along with the proper name. It is best to spell our the entire scientific name on your label so that there is no confusion for your customers.

Try to sit them in a cool dry place to minimize moisture and sweating. Its best to wait a couple weeks before wrapping them, to prevent moisture being trapped inside. Hope this helps!

"How Is the suspension of this soap? I want to add coffee grounds to make a cafe latte exfoliating bar, will this soap work for that?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer No, this is not a suspension soap base so the coffee grounds will not suspend throughout the soap using the Goat Milk soap base. It will not suspend throughout the soap, but will sink to the bottom. It will appear on only one side of your bar. If you prefer it to suspend throughout the soap, we have a suspension soap base that works great. It is called Crafters Choice™ Signature Suspend White MP Soap Base. In case you are interested, the suspension comes in clear as well.

"Is it necessary to add a preservative to the base for resale?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Hello Christal, Thank you for your question. Our MP Soap bases contain a properly balanced preservative system that will allow for the addition of fragrance oil and a small amount of additives. If you are exceeding the recommended maximum for additives you will need to add additional preservative. As long as you stay within the recommended maximums you should not need to add any additional preservative.

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Actually, we recommend either a stainless steel pot, using the double boiler method (so that there is not direct heat). Or placing the soap in a glass mixing bowl, or measuring bowl with a pouring spout (like a Pyrex measuring cup) and placing it in the microwave to melt.

"Can anything be added to the Melt and Pour Soap to make a harder bar?"

Click Here To View 2 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Some people add 1 Tablespoon of stearic acid per pound of MP Soap Base. To do this successfully, you would need to melt the stearic acid and then melt the soap. When you add the two together, melt them individually and mix them together at 160-165º F. This is important in preventing the stearic acid from re-solidify into wax like drops throughout the soap. Any time you add stearic acid to clear soap it will impact the clarity and make it cloudy.

You can try mixing different types of melt and pour. Some bases are softer than others. For your liking, you may want to add some White base to Three Butters, if a harder bar is your goal. Note: It's best not to mix brands, though. Here's a link to all of WSP's M and P bases http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductFilter.aspx?FBK=Melt+And+Pour&x=34&y=14

"What is the difference between this Basic MP Goat Milk Soap Base and the Goat Milk MP Soap Base besides price? Am I paying for a lesser quality product?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer The Crafter's Choice Basic Goat Milk Soap has is excellent and a top performer in the industry. When compared to our traditional Goat's Milk Soap Base it has a lower percentage of synthetic detergents, which make big bubbles. To compensate and not sacrifice performance, we have enhanced the lather with saponified natural oils to make more of a creamy lather. Changing how and why the soap base lathers is what allows for the lower price.
