"The Best!!!" COMMENTS:  A bit soft which makes it extra-luxurious (very silk) and bubbly. The detergent-free version is a bit stingier with the bubbles so use this one if you want the most bubbles.

Charity • Alabama Date Submitted:  05/12/2014 I Recommend This Product!

"Love it!" COMMENTS:  I am so happy with this base! The lather is creamier and produces more bubbles than the previous shea butter base I was purchasing from a craft supply retail store, not to mention way more cost effective. The soap left a softer feel to the skin and did't leave any sticky type feel on the skin. This will be my go-to base for my shea butter M&P soaps. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Melt & Pour THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Lots of lather • Creamy • No sticky residue

Karen • Washington Date Submitted:  01/30/2014 I Recommend This Product!

"AMAZING BASE!" COMMENTS:  I bought this as my daughter in law has very sensitive skin so I thought I would try it for her. She usually has to buy the very expensive soaps as she breaks out from just regular soap. She tried the first bar and had to call me and tell me how amazing this soap was and she wanted more. This is the only soap she will use now. I don't add any scents or colors, just use it like it is. She is very happy with just plain old squares of soap made from it. Nothing fancy.

Alissa • New York Date Submitted:  09/20/2013 I Recommend This Product!

"Super nice soap!" COMMENTS:  I've used this base for years after trying out many other brands. I specifically like this one because it performs great, takes color beautifully, takes fragrance wonderfully, and is low-odor and low-sweat. It is much more low-sweat than the "low-sweat" bases. The ingredients list may deter some customers, but overall I honestly think the only people who care as much about the ingredients are other soapers or customers who have been misinformed about ingredients. This will still sell and is great stuff so don't let the ingredient list deter you! At least get the 2lb sampler before you decide. The block size is bulky and harder to cut pieces off of, but with a good sharp cutter and some practice it gets easier. I bought a 24" cheese slicing wire and it pulls through the block pretty easily and I can get my husband to hold it while I slice it into "logs". From there it's easier to cut off what I need. Highly recommended soap base! PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Melt & Pour THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • Performs great. • Takes color beautifully. • Hold scent really well. • The block is harder to handle.

"Why do I get these sugar like crystals on the surface of my soaps after they sit for a little while, even in an air tight container! What can I do to keep it from happening! " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: dana   |   November 20, 2015 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Hi Dana, Glycerin is a humectant meaning it draws in moisture, which is one of the reasons why we love it! Humidity in the air can cause the crystals. Store your soap in a low humidity for best results. Keep away from blowing air conditioners too. Finally, when melt and pour soap is overheated it can have undesirable effects. Make sure you are not overheating the soap when making it.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: November 20, 2015 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Why do bars of soap sweat in humid weather, or even in the soap room with the AC on and the dehumidifier off but AFTER you use a bar of soap to wash it stays nice and dry? Thank you!" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Sr. Mary Catharine   |   August 24, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Because of the high amounts of glycerin in soap, it attracts water. Wrap your soaps immediately after taking them out of the molds. Sweating in soap is a sign of high-quality however, sweating can cause the oils in the soap to go rancid faster than normal.   Posted By: Samantha   |   Date: August 26, 2014 Was this answer helpful?

"Is this a good suspension soap? I want to add herbs, but am not sure if this formula is suspending?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Annie   |   January 05, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Good question! Our Suspension Soap Base should be used for suspending herbs/beads etc.. through your soap. If you only use the Shea Butter Soap Base, the herbs will sink to the bottom and only be on one part of your soap. Just a thought, you may want to test out having maybe half Shea Butter Soap Base and half Suspension Soap Base to your recipe, and see if that works for you.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: January 06, 2014 Was this answer helpful?
