Question 1

How many  soaps can a pound of base make?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for asking about our soaps. How many soaps a pound of base will make depends on the size of the mold you are using. On average a pound of soap will make between 3 or 4 bars of soap.

Question 2

Does this white soap base make a more pure white than the shea butter base?

Accepted Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. The Shea Butter Base and White Soap Base are both white soap bases therefore, they should both have the same results in color. The main difference between the two is that the Shea Butter Base is infused with Shea Butter. On the other hands, White Soap Base is plain with no additives. You can add any additives you want in both.

Question 3

This soap does not make suds and does not clean good. I added nothing to it. Is there something I could add to it to ?make it clean?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for contacting us about our soap. You can add fragrance, color and an assortment of skin enriching additives. Clays, powders, extracts, botanicals, and exfoliants are also popular cosmetic additives to make your soap unique. Some exfoliant type additives like pumice will help your soap clean and remove grease and stains. It is possible when washing with “hard” water the suds and cleaning power will be diminished. As always when adding to soaps, test a little first to be sure the end result is what you want.

Question 4

What percent of additive per pound will this base hold fo, eo, butters, oils etc.?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for contacting us about our soap base.

The recommended percentage of additives, oils, and fragrance to add to a glycerin melt and pour soap base can vary depending on the specific product and desired outcome. However, as a general guideline, it is advisable to keep the total additives (including oils and fragrance) to no more than 3-5% of the total weight of the soap base.

Here's a breakdown of the percentages you can consider:

Additives: This refers to ingredients such as exfoliants (e.g., herbs, seeds, oatmeal), colorants (e.g., micas, natural pigments), and other specialty additives (e.g., clays, botanical extracts). These can typically be added in a range of 0.5-2% of the total weight of the soap base. Be sure to check the specific guidelines for each additive to determine the appropriate usage rate.

Oils: When adding oils, such as carrier oils or essential oils, it's generally recommended to keep the total amount between 1-3% of the total weight of the soap base. Different oils have different properties, so you may need to adjust the amount based on their specific characteristics and intended effects.

Fragrance: Fragrance oils are often used in soap making to provide scents. The recommended usage rate for fragrance oils is typically around 1-2% of the total weight of the soap base. However, this can vary depending on the strength and specific recommendations of the fragrance oil you are using. Some fragrance oils may require a lower percentage for a strong scent, while others may require a slightly higher percentage.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and it's always a good idea to check the any additives, oils, or fragrances you plan to use by making small test batches and observe how the soap behaves before making larger batches to ensure the desired results.
