1. Dice the soap base and melt in a water bath, mix well.

2. Add ingredients of phase B and mix.

3. Pour the mixture into the prepared mould and leave to set on a flat surface. After approx. 4 hours remove the soap from the mould and leave to dry until the next day. The prepared soap can then be used.

If the environment in which the soap is stored has higher humidity, dew and a gelatinous layer may appear on the surface of the soap. This is normal for natural melt & pour soaps. To avoid this phenomenon, it is advisable to wrap the soap in food wrap or store it in a sealable container.

Hello Diana, If you wish to add glycerin to your soap bases, please note that these two quality soap bases contain glycerin by default. If you have referred to a cold-brewed soap recipe, due to the complexity of the procedure, a suitable, tested recipe cannot be made available to you. Have a sunny day!

Hello. Could I use vegetable glycerin to make soap and if so, how? To harden it, use beeswax? I would like to use glycerin, honey, coconut oil, olive oil.

Hello Cora, We recommend 1 teaspoon liquid honey per pound when adding honey to M&P soap base. Too much honey in the soap base will make the soap soft, increase the possibility of glycerin dew, or the honey may separate from the base. Good luck!

Can honey be added to melt&pour bases? Liquid honey, honey diluted with a little water?

Hello! Sure, you can make melt&pour soap which is also suitable for children. Use vegetable oil (but not more than 5%), citrus or lavender essential oils, including balsamic fir.

Good evening! Could I make a soap that the baby can use? For example, can I add avocado oil, green mandarin essence and green pigment?I think that fir essence is not suitable for children... thank you for answering my messages.

Hello! Yes, you can replace the apricot extract with an essential oil of your preference. If the odor of the chosen oil is very intense, use a smaller amount than indicated in the recipe.

Hello, I would have a question regarding the recipe for the surgras soap, but the discussion was closed there. I want to know if I can replace the apricot extract with an essential oil, respecting the same quantity? Thank you very much.

Adelina, Hello, Soap base is the main ingredient in these soaps. Why do you want to replace it? It is difficult to make such soap base at home; you can find it in our shop.

mela, Soap base already contains glycerin, no need for extra. You can use any of the butters, according to your preference and properties; the texture of the soap is not much influenced by the addition of butters as only a small percentage can be used. Do not exceed the dosages indicated in the soap sheet for additions.

Is it possible to add glycerine in the soap composition (what quantity?), besides vegetable oil, vegetable butter? If it is possible, which of the butters is more indicated? Thank you!
