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.

Shea butter soap base

"i love the shea butter MP soap base, it's so smooth and soft and leaves my skin feeling soft."

— Caroline R. (5/5)

Pretty Decent

"Soap base is pretty good. Pain in the butt to cut up and store, but for the most part melts beautifully, sets well. Overall I've used this base pretty consistently. Its a good base!"

— Nadia R. (5/5)

My Favorite Soap Base!

"I use a lot of different soap bases regularly, but this one is far and away my favorite to wash with. It is creamy and soothing on the skin, and makes a lot of lather. It makes my skin feel so soft. I often add honey to this soap base to make it extra soothing and moisturizing, and it is such a treat. I would use this soap all winter and I feel like people have no idea how good it is before they've tried it. It is very tan, so it doesn't take color well, so I advise using it as naturally tan in whatever designs you do."
