Sometimes choosing a melt and pour (MP) soap base is the hardest part of the soapmaking process. Let's review the MP soap base grades and types that are available from Wholesale Supplies Plus. 


Crafter's Choice® MP Soap Base Grades

Basic Soap Bases: Basic Soap Bases are some of the most popular bases on the market. They are ideal for price-sensitive shoppers. Basic Soap Bases are formulated with a smaller percentage of synthetic foam boosters, which results in a creamy lather. They are easy to work with and have exceptional performance as evidenced by our customer reviews! Made in the USA.

Detergent Free Soap Bases: Detergent Free Soap Bases are traditional soap bases with additives incorporated that allow the soap to be melted and re-molded. These soap bases do not contain synthetic detergents or parabens. They have excellent skincare performance with 100 percent of the lather produced from saponification of natural oils producing real soap. Made in the USA.

Premium Soap Bases: Premium Soap Bases are commonly referred to as the "best of the best" in the handmade industry. They feature high-performance and high-lather ingredients, which produce exceptional skincare results. When you use these bases you will understand the difference and why others use them as benchmarks for performance. Made in the USA.
