Tips:
Take care to heat the soap base gently. We recommend using a bain marie (double boiler) rather than a microwave for melting.
We've found that melting small amounts of this soap can result in moisture loss making it more difficult to work with, therefore, for best results, melt at least 500g of soap base at a time.
Keep it natural! Try using macerated botanicals like Alkanet Root or Spirulina to add gentle colour to the soap. Natural colourants like clay powders, ultramarines and oxides are also good choices for organic soap base, but use them sparingly to avoid the finished soap becoming too dry and hard when set.
As with standard melt & pour soap bases, limit additions like oils and butters to 5% by weight so as not to inhibit the lathering.
