ScentGifts Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I currently make melts, room sprays & air fresheners, but would like to try some soap for friends & family as gifts. I have some silicone cupcake type molds (snowmen & snowflakes) that I would like to use, but do not know which type of soap to start with. There seem to be several kinds of m&p soap bases (shea butter, goats milk, etc). What would be a good base for this type of thing?Thanks!!

Candybee Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Shea butter or goats milk bases are both good to use. There are all kinds of bases to choose from; soy, white, goats milk, shea butter, cocoa butter, hemp seed oil, olive oil, clear, ultra clear, oatmeal, etc.It might help to go to a M&P suppliers website and read about their bases to choose one you like. Peaks has SFIC bases; WSP has Crafters Choice, etc. Other suppliers that carry bases are Elements, Southern Soapers, Essentials by Catalina, Candles and Supplies, and Candlewic. At least those are ones off the top of my head that I know carry bases.You should be able to buy samples of one or more bases to try out. Samples usually come in 1 to 2 lb slabs to test.

Faerywren Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I use and love the SFIC bases. Any of theirs would be great for what you want to do.~Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Ditto on the SFIC bases as that is all I use. I've tried Stephenson's and other brands but prefer SFIC . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
