Not Sure.....

Nicole 2025-04-18

I've never tried this base before, but am deeply missing the regular clear.
This one is sssoooo much softer. Sticky almost.
•It's extremely foggy (similar to High foaming and suspending.)
• It is already sweating from simply cutting it. (Haven't heated it yet.)

If this is how it is supposed to be, I will not be purchasing it again. Maybe I'm just spoiled with the quality/style of the clear base.
Other than that, I CAN say that it foams up/lathers a LOT simply from washing off the amount of soap that stuck to the knife!!
On that note, the regular clear (not the HCVS clear) never would clump and stick to the knife like this.

This is my favorite melt and pour, my customers love it and come back for more. We especially love the short list of ingredients. Lathers great!

Good base, but

Lorz 2022-05-13

A good soap base with nice lather that takes color well. However, despite storing it in the same way as my other soaps, it has very bad glycerin dew.

Love and always buying!

I use this soap base regularly and it is amazing. You can feel the moisture from the soap cause its slippery and it lasts for a good minute. Definitely higher quality soap that I keep coming back for!
