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.

Premium Goats milk soap

"This space along with the olive oil, aloe vera soap are my absolute favorites. After trying all the bases these two in my opinion are the best."

Shea Butter Workhorse

"This Shea Butter formulation is my workhorse soap. It does not sweat at all except for very humid environments, and is stable both in the case it arrives in and in completed bars. It is easy to work with and cost effective."

— Catherine (5/5)

Super nice soap!

"I've used this base for years after trying out many other brands. I specifically like this one because it performs great, takes color beautifully, takes fragrance wonderfully, and is low-odor and low-sweat. It is much more low-sweat than the ""low-sweat"" bases. The ingredients list may deter some customers, but overall I honestly think the only people who care as much about the ingredients are other soapers or customers who have been misinformed about ingredients. This will still sell and is great stuff so don't let the ingredient list deter you! At least get the 2lb sampler before you decide. The block size is bulky and harder to cut pieces off of, but with a good sharp cutter and some practice it gets easier. I bought a 24"" cheese slicing wire and it pulls through the block pretty easily and I can get my husband to hold it while I slice it into ""logs"". From there it's easier to cut off what I need. Highly recommended soap base!"

Q&A

what is the shelf life of this product? before melting and adding fragrance and after? thank you: Hello - we guarantee the product for two years from purchase before modification. And if stored in a cool dry place 1 years after you repurpose the ingredients.
I currently use your goat milk soap base but would like to switch to make my soaps vegan. Would this be good substitute?: This would be a nice alternative to our Premium Goat Milk MP Soap Base.
Is this plant-based glycerin? I want to make my soaps "animal product free"!: Yes, all our soap bases contain vegetable based glycerin. Thank you for asking.
Why do I get these sugar like crystals on the surface of my soaps after they sit for a little while, even in an air tight container! What can I do to keep it from happening!: Hi Dana, Glycerin is a humectant meaning it draws in moisture, which is one of the reasons why we love it! Humidity in the air can cause the crystals. Store your soap in a low humidity for best results. Keep away from blowing air conditioners too. Finally, when melt and pour soap is overheated it can have undesirable effects. Make sure you are not overheating the soap when making it.
Why do bars of soap sweat in humid weather, or even in the soap room with the AC on and the dehumidifier off but AFTER you use a bar of soap to wash it stays nice and dry? Thank you!: Because of the high amounts of glycerin in soap, it attracts water. Wrap your soaps immediately after taking them out of the molds. Sweating in soap is a sign of high-quality however, sweating can cause the oils in the soap to go rancid faster than normal.
