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.

02 oz Natural Twist-up Tube & Top Work Great!

"I bought the 2oz natural twist up tubes and a set of 4oz tubs to use for Hemp Lotions I've been giving to family and friends to try. The favorite method of application overall has been the tubes! I've experienced no leakage and being able to twist the product up and apply directly to skin makes it super mess-free. They also look really nice with the natural translucent tube, showing off your product inside nicely. I already keep this size in my purse, but my next order will include the smaller version that I think would be even more perfect for on the go! I use lip balm labels, if that helps anyone with label sizing issues. The tubs are great as well, I will just use them for another product :)"

Great no detergent base

"I love this MP base and use it a lot! I make soaps for myself and I love the lather and moisturizing effect. I also give them as gifts, and get complements! I also sell them. I appreciate that this base is detergent free, and I always get good results with it."

— Karen (5/5)

Great Product.

"This is a great soap. I wanted to go to detergent free and this did not disappoint. I do live in the deep south, so it does have a tendency to stay a little softer than I prefer, but I think its a fair trade off. I would suggest this soap to anyone wanting to go to a more natural line."

Q&A

can i use stained glass coloring for this?: yes
DF MP Shea Butter details on this website shows melt point TBD. Do you have a more updated temperature answer?: The melt point for the DF bases are 120-125º F.
Is this soap base free of sulfates and parabens?: Yes, all of our detergent free MP soap bases are free of sulfates and parabens.
Is this an all natural soap base?: This is not considered to be an all natural soap base.
What product can be added to this soap base to make the soap bars a bit harder once dried?: 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-solidifying into wax like drops throughout the soap. Stearic acid will cloud the soap, but that should not be an issue with this base: https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/products/stearic-acid.aspx
