What Is Soap Base?

Soap base refers to the unscented saponified base of any soap. Actually, it’s a finished soap that does not contain any scents, colors, or other additives, so it’s the best option for beginner soap makers as it allows you to save time and helps increase your chances of success.

Soap bases can be divided into solid and liquid. Solid bases are used for classic bar soap, and liquid ones are suitable for making hand soap, shower gels, shampoos, and other liquid soap products. Soft (creamy) soap bases are also used for making scrubs.

Solid (or melt and pour) soap bases can be white or transparent. White soap base, also known as opaque, contains titanium dioxide, which gives it a white color. The transparent soap base contains an added sugar alcohol blend that gives it a transparent appearance. Melt-and-pour soap bases often contain extra glycerin that helps keep the base soft and meltable, making it easy to work with.

How to Make Soap with Soap Base

If you want to make melt-and-pour soap, you must buy a soap base (usually sold in blocks), cut a small amount into small chunks, and melt it down using a heat-resistant container. Then, add the desired additives—essential oils, colorants, plant extracts, exfoliants, and more and mix them gently to prevent bubbles. Pour the mixture into a silicone mold and allow it to cool and harden for a few hours. Once the soap has set, take it out of the mold, and it is ready to be used or packaged.
