Product description
Trusted by Makers. Loved by Skin.
Crafter’s Choice Melt & Pour Soap Bases use quality ingredients for consistent, reliable results. They melt smoothly, hold fragrance and color evenly, and create a rich, gentle lather. With detergent-free options, they’re perfect for crafting skin-friendly bars that perform beautifully every time.
Four Steps. Endless Possibilities. 
Melt
Cut soap base into cubes. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat on low in 30-second bursts, stirring until melted. CAUTION: Hot soap burns.
Mix
Once the base is melted, gently stir in your desired color, fragrance, and skin-safe additives like botanicals or exfoliants. Mix thoroughly.
Mold
Pour the mixture evenly into your mold. Spritz the top with rubbing alcohol to pop any surface bubbles. Let the soap cool completely until firm.
Store
Once firm, unmold the soap. Wrap each bar in airtight plastic to preserve freshness and prevent sweating. Your soap is now ready to use or gift!

Are these soap bases suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Crafter’s Choice Melt and Pour soap bases are skin-friendly and lather well. Use only compatible additives and fragrances to avoid altering the soap’s properties. Always test your final product for best results.
Do these soap bases create a good lather?

Quality of the base,and ingredients.
The best quality soap base. Easy to work with, extra time to work. No rush,at,all!! Excellent soaps!! Also the best ingredients!!
Marci Ichi-Go –
good quality melt and pour, one of my favorites. but on the pricey side for what you get.
so far this is my favorite melt and pour soap. It suds up and lather’s really nicely. I don’t need to add sugar for this to happen, as I did with some other soap bases. Downside is that I feel it is more expensive than some of the other melt and pour bases…but I can guess that it’s because the quality is nicer. I think it’s a great buy to sample this brand, but if I get serious about soap making, i’m going to have to find a wholesale supplier.

Really works
Awesome first time using! My clients loved them.
Russell Smith –
LOVE IT. Gentle head to toe cleansing.
My hubby & I discovered it makes amazing shampoo as well as a body soap especially for sensitive skin. We have fine hair and it cleanses without stripping. We don’t even need conditioner. Friends say it is perfect for babies as well. 1 bar does it all.
