Reviews for Opaque Coconut Glycerin Melt and Pour Soap Base
4 out of 5 stars
Based on 11 ratings
The quality of the base is so good. I couldn't believe how quickly I received it. I ordered it on Thursday or Friday, and I got it on Monday. Wow.
Unfortunately, this melt and pour base made the soaps very drying. It left a soap film on my skin. I might try another melt and pour base with olive oil to check if there is a difference.

Hi Angela, overheating melt and pour soap bases or keeping it on the stove longer than it takes to melt it can dry out the soap and cause moisture loss. (It's also best not to microwave melt and pour soap, though some people do have successful results when doing it carefully and in short bursts.) This could be the reason for your results. We strongly encourage you to heat your melt and pour soap at a low temperature, using a double boiler. We offer a double boiler insert in our Equipment section if you need one.
OUTSTANDING product. I have customers who have soy protein allergies, and this does not have any soy proteins. Thank you!
I like the melt and pour soaps pretty much as a stand alone product. I like to cut off a piece and use it for bathing.
It is not my intention to have so many bad reviews of your products as I am usually 99 happy with my orders from you. However, this soap does not even seem like soap. It has no lather and it did not look of a good quality before I even took it out of the package. It had bubbles and did not look clean.

Teresa, Melt & Pour soap bases, by their nature, can have a few bubbles in them. Overheating a Melt & Pour soap base can dramatically ruin the lather. We strongly encourage you to heat the base at very low heat for only as long as it takes to melt the soap. Using a double boiler is ideal (we sell a double boiler insert in our Equipment section).
Nice, but it sweats a bit.
This base is easy to work with, but it does not lather as well as used to.
