I love the soap base but it tends to leave my skin feeling dry after usage and doesn't produce as much lather. Any tips on this?

Wow!

I made my first batch of holiday soap with mica today. It was trial and error. I did learn to add the mica while the base cubes are still melting. Works best with a double boiler for consistent stirring. The soap came out beautifully with a rich color, deeper and more vibrant than I expected. I am addicted to the mica now, as opposed to traditional liquid dyes!

Great!

This soap base is great I love everything about it but it does cause a dry feeling on the skin when rinsed off. Any tips?? Thank you!

Compliments and a question

My first try with this 2lb base was very promising. Easy to cut, easy to pour, easier to clean. Aside from my fighting like a cornered cat with the mica to get it to stay a uniform color throughout the soap, not too shabby. Love the smell (the way it holds my FO) and lather. May need to try it with the liquid dye to see if it's the dye or me.
Now for the question: The options of 2 lbs and 25lbs are a huge range, one is not enough, the other seems like a lot. Does anyone have any idea of the expiration date of the 25-pounder? I'm interested but worry that it might take me a while to go through the whole thing. Thanks in advance.

Hi Megan! Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We're sorry to hear you had a bit of trouble with the mica in your soaps, and we'd love to help. A member of our Customer Support team is reaching out via email to further assist.

With regard to the soap shelf life, we typically recommend ordering only what you're able to use within 6 months to a year. With proper storage, it's possible soap bases can last longer than one year. We recommend storing all of your raw materials for candle and soapmaking in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dark, and dry space.
