"Hello! What is the difference between this Three Butter PLUS and the Detergent Free Three Butter BESIDES the fact that the detergent free is...well, detergent free. I guess the word 'plus' on the end of this one is intriguing and I'd like to know what makes it 'plus'. Thank you in advance. "

Staff Answer The Detergent Free Three Butter is detergent-free, while the Premium Three Butter Plus contains added detergent. The word 'Plus' is just a part of the name in this case as we do not offer a different kind of Premium Three Butter at this time.

"What is the difference between premium soap bases and the regular ones?"

Staff Answer Our premium MP soap bases are high-performance soap bases that contain ingredients that boost performance and create large, “luxury” bubbles. The basic MP bases do create a nice lather, but do not have as high of a detergent level as the premiums do.

Staff Answer We do not recommend adding water to a MP soap base. The only time this would be needed is if the base should become dehydrated overtime. Then you would add 1 tablespoon of water per pound of soap base.

"How can I put oatmeal in my soaps without it sinking to the bottom. "

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Oatmeal will naturally sink since it is heavier than the liquid soap. You can let your soap thicken up a little after adding the oatmeal. Then stir before pouring. This can help suspend the oatmeal in the soap but some will fall to the bottom.

"In the description it says that this soap is coconut oil based but coconut oil is not listed as an ingredient, but coconut oil is listed on the detergent free three butter soap and the premium is the same has the detergent free only it has detergent in it as a cleaning agent right? Is this an error or is it under a different name? Also we love this soap, it is the best. Thank You. "

Staff Answer In the Premium Base, sodium laureth sulfate is an added detergent made from coconut oil. In the Detergent Free soap base, coconut oil is used as the lathering agent. And, thank you - we are so glad you love our soap!

Detergent free soaps do not contain sls (provides more lather). So if you are wanting a more natural soap detergent free is the way to go. Some people say the detergent free soaps do not lather as well, but I think there isn't much difference. It is just a matter of preference.

"Does wrapping this soap help with sweating? How soon after cooling should it be wrapped? "

Click Here To View 12 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer It is best to wrap melt and pour soap in an air tight wrap within a day or two after unmolding. MP soap will usually sweat if: 1) it has been overheated and the water balance has been disrupted. 2) it is left open to air in humid conditions. 3) Soap has been exposed to extreme humid conditions such as being placed in the freezer where the cold air fan is located, near a window air conditioner, and near an air conditioner vent. 4) Extra glycerin has been added to the formula either by itself or

I shrink wrap my bars after letting them sit for 24-48 hours after unmolding (although sometimes even sooner than that) and have had no problems with sweating, even in a hot and humid climate.

I still had an issue with sweating with DF M&P soap, I now run a dehumidifier in the room I soap in and package my soaps within 48 hours. Also do not over heat or freeze your soaps.

I let my soap cool overnight and if in a warm climate or in the summer I will put it in the fridge overnight. With the coconut milk base I have had NO sweat from any of the bars after I made it and let it cool this way and did not wrap it.

Wrapping definitely helps. The sweating is due to the glycerin interacting with humidity in the air. If you want to be certain your soaps won't sweat, then you must wrap them. Plastic wrap works great!

Staff Answer We recommend simply wrapping with an inexpensive plastic wrap. It can be wrapped tightly and a label placed on the back to cover any excess. This way you can see the entire bar and still smell the soap inside.

I know it is not recommended to add oils or butters to MP soap as it reduces lather, but I don't mind a smaller amount of lather for the added benefits of Shea butter: it is so luxurious for dry skin and the oils have added benefits of their own. I love lavender essential oil, shea butter and coconut oil in my soaps.

usually, adding oils or butter decreases the lather. you can play around with what you like in terms of lather quality vs. moisturizing properties. i've had problems with MP being too "soft" after adding too much oil to it and sweating more
