The soap base is unscented, so it combines well with essential oils and fragrances of your choice. Soap base pH 9,5-10,5. Melting point of soap base: 50-65º C.
It is recommended not to heat the soap base above 72º C, otherwise the soap base may discolour.
Soap base is very easy to use: you don’t have to bother with recipe development, it doesn’t require sodium lye, and it can be made in a variety of colours and scents. Also, the soap has a much shorter curing time than conventional cold-processed soap , and can be used as soon as it has set.
The process of making soap:
- Take the soap base out of the packaging and cut it into small pieces so that the soap melts evenly and quickly.
- Put the soap in a bowl and heat it over a steam bath (in another bowl, boil water and place the bowl with the cut soap cubes over it). We recommend melting the soap in a steam bath rather than over direct heat to avoid overheating and discolouration. We recommend not to exceed a temperature of 72º C.
- Once the soap base has fully dissolved, apply the desired scent and colour. Stir gently to combine the soap base with the scents and colours and to prevent them from separating later.
- Pour the prepared soap into the moulds and allow to set completely. Once set, remove from the moulds and enjoy your handmade soap.
The soap base is packed in 1 kg, 6 kg or 12 kg packs.
