Product Notice: May 18, 2023: This product was reformulated by the manufacturer without pentasodium pentetate. The change is minimal and will not affect the quality or performance of the soap bases, but the ingredient list on your product labels will need to be updated. 
 
This change impacts Stephenson M&P soap with batch numbers after 174500. For details on this change, visit Stephenson’s Knowledge Corner: Pentasodium Pentetate

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 soothing 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.

Poor Lather

I was very disappointed in the lather of this melt and pour soap base. :-( It really has no lather at all. It more or less just makes a silky watery film on the skin when I am rubbing on my hands under water.

A triple threat!

My favorite! I use this base to create the perfect bar of soap and it leaves my family and I soft and moisturized I’ll be adding it to my store soon! Btw people lather don’t mean clean!

Too soft and gooey

I LOVE cocoa butter soap. CS doesn't carry it so I got the triple butter instead which sounded fun. The problem is that it just doesn't really harden very fast. Nor does it get as firm as I'd like. The paper I wrapped my soap in got really icky and damp and greasy. I had to wrap my bars in paper towels and let them drain and dry for days. I ended up just remelting them down and adding 2 pounds of cocoa butter to firm it all up. It is curing now but still SLOW.... I've never had to wait this long. Back to just straight cocoa butter for me. Sorry I tried.

Smell was overwhelming

I made this soap last night and the process of melting it smelled so bad that my stomach and head started to hurt instantly. I also didn’t like how the bottom of the soap turned out, I did like how sudsy it made my hands but I wish I could’ve added more fragrance to this because the base was so overpowering. Does anyone know the max amount of fragrance I can add to this soap base? Thanks in advance!!

Creamy but not much lather

This soap is very creamy and moisturizing but it falls a little short in the lathering department. Easy to work with and feels great on the skin but I wish it lathered a lot more.

No Lather :(

Was very excited to get this base. Reviews say it has a great lather..... It does NOT! Its like trying to work lather out of a stone. If you try for long enough you can get a bit of lather but nothing note worthy. It doesn't even feel like the soap is going onto my hands which is curious. I have to really work the bar to feel like i got a bit. Sadly disappointed.

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!

Very pour lather

I recently bought this base to make soap it doesn’t lather nor foam are all. It doesn’t leave your skin moisturized. Complete failure.

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.
