Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the creamy white and transparent soap base?

A: The creamy white soap base produces an opaque, classic bar that works well with pastel colourants and gives a traditional handmade soap look. The transparent (clear) soap base is ideal for vibrant colourants, embedding flowers or herbs, and achieving a glossy, jewel-like finish. Both bases have the same gentle, skin-friendly formula.

Q: Do I need any special equipment to use this melt-and-pour soap base?

A: No special equipment is needed! A microwave or double boiler, a heat-safe pouring jug or bowl, a silicone soap mould, and a stirring utensil are all you need. Because this is a melt-and-pour base, there is no need to handle lye (sodium hydroxide), making it much safer and more beginner-friendly than cold-process soap making.

Q: Can I add essential oils or fragrance oils to this soap base?

A: Yes! This soap base is fully compatible with cosmetic-grade essential oils, fragrance oils, colourants, dried botanicals, exfoliants (like oatmeal or coffee grounds), and glitter. A general guideline is to use approximately 1–3% fragrance oil by weight of your soap base for a pleasant, lasting scent without irritation.

Q: How many bars of soap can I make with 250g of soap base?

A: This depends on the size of your moulds. A standard 100g bar size would yield approximately 2–3 bars from a single 250g pack. Smaller novelty or guest-size bars can yield more. It's a great quantity for sampling different recipes and designs.
