Blending luxurious shea, cocoa, and mango butters, this soap base is specially designed to nourish and cleanse the skin. Mango and cocoa butter are renowned for their restorative moisturizing benefits, while the luxurious power of shea butter provides a pleasant finishing touch to this base. The intense conditioning properties of this soap dampen the bubbles one might expect in soap, but still produces a luscious lather.

A triple threat!

Best Base

I’ve had no issues with a strong lather with this base. Takes FO well and moisturizes the skin so much better than the shea alone, my absolute favorite!

Love It

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.

The best Moisturizing soap I've used..

This is my favorite m & p base. I've tried SFIC and Stephenson brands. I've tried the goats milk, shea butter, aloe (SFIC) and triple butter bases. The Stephenson Triple Butter is my favorite for the way it feels on my skin. EXTREMELY moisturizing! The Triple butter base works fine in swirls and layering techniques.

My only complaint is that the base remains soft, kind of rubbery, when compared to the other m & p bases. Also, this soap has a lower melting point than the other soaps. You can see strings of the embed appear when using a clear base to cover them.... In other words, the embed can start to melt because of its lower melting point. Despite the drawbacks of this soap, it is still my favorite soap base!

LOVE IT! Just started making soaps after being into candles for decades. This is the BEST soap base I have found. Pours well, moisturizing, generous lather. GET. THIS. SOAP. BASE.
