Cut soap base into small pieces, and melt in the microwave at 30-second intervals (or use a double boiler), stirring until fully liquefied. Once melted, add cosmetic color, fragrance, and other skin-safe additives—this base can hold up to 5% total additives—then pour the mixture into a Crafter’s Choice mold and spritz the surface with rubbing alcohol to reduce bubbles. Allow the soap to cool completely before unmolding, then wrap it in airtight plastic wrap to preserve freshness. Melted soap is hot and should be used with caution; recommended for ages 15 and older.

Reviews

poor quality

"Terrible quality, went straight into the trash. I am very disappointed with this product. This shampoo base doesn't wash out properly. After using it, there is a white residue left on my comb, just like what happens when you try to wash your hair with regular soap. Even while using it, my hands feel sticky. It is completely unusable — I couldn’t even repurpose it as hand soap. The whole thing went right into the garbage."

— Lana (1/5)

Great as a shave bar

"This bar was fantastic for shaving, I added some castor oil and mango butter and it lathered up much better."

— Danielle G. (5/5)

Soap Base

"Love the way it feels on the skin after made into soap. Great texture to it!"

— Bradley G. (5/5)

Aloe and Olive MP Base

"I love this base and use it for my facial soaps. The aloe and olive mix are perfect for skin care in soaps. I highly recommend this soap base."

— Jo (5/5)

So glad I tried this base!!

"I made bars with cool water for men's bars. I now use it to shave my legs. I will definitely keep this in stock."

— Diana (5/5)

Made perfect shaving soap

"I made shaving soap with this melt and pour with the ""Coffee Addiction"" FO. They came out amazing! I've been asked for more of these soap bars. I think I will be keeping this soap base in stock."

— Pauline (5/5)

Love this product, but some customers do not.

"I have some very mixed reviews from customers on this product. I have a few customers that absolutely LOVE it, and I have to keep it in stock for them, probably forever. haha but then I have other people that it literally made their hair feel like it had glue in it after being dried. I didn't belive it so I tried washing my mom's hair with it and YUP, felt disgusting. She is 100% grey, and so are the other customers that hated it. So, all in all. . . I don't think anyone that is majority grey should use this. Not all beauty products are meant for everybody. Because every body is different!! This is the only shampoo my household uses now, we all love it so I will always keep it in stock! I wish there was a Melt and Pour conditioner bar! Also, the soap lathers so nicely! It is a huge draw for people who have to see the bubbles to think the soap is working. I like to mix this in with a shea butter or goats milk and add extra lather! Customer love it."

— Stephanie (4/5)

Premium Shave & Shampoo Melt and Pour Soap Base

"Love this! Will buy again."

— Susan (5/5)

This did not perform well as shampoo. .

"I was hoping that this product would be a good replacement for my regular shampoo bars that I hand press. I saw the use of surfactants and all the other extracts and oils and thought that it would be great for hair. But it wasn't, it was so drying and stripping. I couldn't figure out why it would make my hair feel so horrible. Then I looked closer at the ingredients and realized that this was still indeed a soap. Lauric acid and sodium hydroxide = soap. I saw the Surfactants and thought that this product would have a hair friendly low ph. I was wrong. If you're looking for a low ph 'non soap' hair product, this isn't it. Order a small amount first and test it out to see if it works. Don't do what I did and order 25 pounds of it."

— Kevin (1/5)

Utterly Shocked!!!

"I was curious about this base, and I'm super surprised! It was weird using a bar as shampoo, but it really worked! I couldn't tell if it made my hair dry, because I am a bottle blonde lol, but it got all the styling crap out like a regular shampoo. My husband is using it as a beard shampoo, and he likes it as well!"

— Janet (5/5)

Q&A

to make this more moisturizing and still bubbly, can I add 1% shea 50 and more lathanol? If so what would you suggest, I actually want to use this as a solid brush cleaner but since my brushes are expensive and real hair I want them to be taken care off.: You can add up to 5% additive to this base with out it breaking down. The amounts you are adding are within the parameters.
Is this base the same as the Stephenson syndapour? Thank you in advance: I apologize but I am not familiar with stephenson products.
Question: do you have any SLS free products that can be used for shaving bars?Would the DF CC triple butter base be good and moisturizing? Would it later up good for a shave? Thank you Jackie: The SLSa in this base makes the rich creamy lather. A Detergent Free base will not have the extra lather needed for a shave and shampoo base.
Do you have a detergent free version of the shampoo base? Thank you.: No, we do not carry a detergent free version of this base and do not have plans to at this time.
Sodium laureth sulfate sometimes contains dioxane residue. Has this product been tested for it? Doesn't say in the SDS.: We don't have any testing for dioxane in this product.
