This is my favorite base to use. It holds fragrance well, and creates a hard, long lasting bar of soap. I’ve played around with adding all kinds of things to this base - mica, dead sea mud, ground oatmeal, poppy seeds - and I’m always pleasantly surprised with how the bar turns out. I wish Candlescience carried more soap making products like these so I could shop for everything in one place, but I’m a happy repeat customer.
I use this base for 3 of my soaps and everyone loves it. It does dry quickly, and I wish it was a littler harder. I mix it with activated charcoal, turmeric, oatmeal & honey, essential oils and even some fragrance oils. I have no problem with it.
In my experience, I've made 4 batches with it, and it's a very nice lathering soap, but scents don't really work well in it. It does give off a little more scent when in use. The soap itself is almost invisible when used which could lead to overuse of soap. My suggestion is if you don't sell heavier scented soaps, then this will be a very good start/addition.
Very nice, smooth when cutting. Can definitely smell the Shea butter, so extra scent is needed to be added if you want to mask it. Melts perfectly, but dries quickly. Works well with micas.
Its not "Neutral odor" at all. You need to use a lot of concentrated perfume to mask the smell of this soap which smells too industrial. Why does no one write about its strong smell? I will look further on some other base.
I've made many bars of soap using this kind. Melts perfectly and smooth! Holds fragrance and dyes very well. Feels great on my hands after removing from molds. Easy to clean up. AWESOME product!
