Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is glycerin soap base and why is it good for DIY soap making?

A: Glycerin soap base is a pre-made melt-and-pour compound that contains glycerin — a natural humectant that attracts moisture to the skin. It requires no handling of lye (sodium hydroxide), making it a safe and beginner-friendly option for DIY handmade soap crafting. Simply melt, customise, and pour for beautiful results.

Q: What is the difference between the clear and white glycerin soap base?

A: The clear glycerin soap base is translucent and works beautifully when you want to showcase embedded flowers, herbs, or vibrant dyes within your finished bar. The white soap base has titanium dioxide added for an opaque, classic creamy appearance and is ideal for pastel or solid-coloured soaps.

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

A: Yes! This glycerin soap base is fully compatible with cosmetic-grade essential oils, fragrance oils, and soap-safe dyes. A general guide is to use approximately 1–3% fragrance by weight (5–15g per 500g of base). Always use cosmetic-grade or soap-safe additives to ensure skin compatibility.

Q: How many soap bars can I make with 500g of glycerin soap base?

A: The number of bars depends on the size of your moulds. A standard 100g bar mould yields approximately 5 bars from a single 500g block. Smaller decorative moulds can yield even more pieces, making this great value for gifts and personal use alike.

Q: Is this soap base suitable for sensitive skin?

A: Glycerin is generally well-tolerated and is commonly used in products formulated for sensitive skin due to its gentle, moisturising properties. However, individual sensitivities vary. We recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin before full use, especially if you add fragrances or dyes to your finished soap.
