Candybee Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Anyone use these? Columbus Foods carries them at a good price so I am interested. Just wondering if anyone here has used them and what you think. I am also interested in the ingredients list but its not on their website. If you know another supplier that carries Soapers Choice they may have a list. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 LOL, I asked that question on a different forum, but no answer yet. I don't want to buy 24 lbs of MP base if it's poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 If I ever get around to testing it out I'll post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Is Soaper's Choice the only brand that Columbus foods carries? The reason that I am asking is because I purchased their base I guess a year ago, perhaps a bit less. (It was when WSP went nuts and put the shipping in their prices.) It was regular white base. I cannot remember if it was soaper's choice though. There is a minor chemical odor to the finished soap. The odor disappears in a couple of hours, so it is no big deal. It is very good base for the money, but I just prefer others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thats what it says on their website is Soapers Choice M&P bases. I may give them a try. I like the price but I don't know yet if the price + shipping works out for me until I sample it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoscentsworth Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Chemistry Store carries Stephenson and the price is a bit better, not sure how the shipping costs would compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I asked about their bases on a different forum; sounds like they aren't that great, so I think I'll pass on them. However, I will continue to buy the oils from Columbus Foods as their prices are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Chemistry Store carries Stephenson and the price is a bit better, not sure how the shipping costs would compare. \I purchase my soap base from the Chemistry Store and it is just great. For me, the shipping fee is the lowest that I have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 I currently purchase my bases from The Chemistry Store also. Their bases are okay but I am always on the lookout for better quality.I miss buying from C&S. They are my fav bases by a mile. But they have raised their prices so high I decided to go with The Chemistry Store and alternate between them and Essentials by Catalina. But so far have yet to find the quality of the C&S bases anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so far have yet to find the quality of the C&S bases anywhere. I feel your pain. I absolutely love the bases from SFIC in my recipe. The cost is insane now with shipping. I have yet to find a company that can supply me with what I need at a reasonable cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 You know I never tried the SFIC bases for the same reason-- they are just too cost prohibitive for me. You want to use the best product you can find but the price and shipping is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It really IS insane. I used SFIC faithfully and had no problem purchasing their 5 case minimum. Having so much base delivered by an 18 wheeler raised a few eyebrows in my neighborhood, but I rationalized that it was "only twice a year". The amount of money to ship from SFIC is literally ridiculous now. They have become a west coast supplier exclusively in recent years. I have not used their base in 4 or 5 years. I will always miss it though. It was the best base that I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I used it last year and still have a hunk of it left. It is not a low sweat soap but it has good clairty for imbeds. The soap will shrink pretty fast if not packaged in an air tight bag and colors tended to turn dark in it. HTHSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernGal Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I am also interested in the ingredients list but its not on their website. If you know another supplier that carries Soapers Choice they may have a list. Thanks.I've never used this soap. But I ran across this website and while searching info about different M&P soap, I saw your request.Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Goat Milk, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Myristate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Triethanolamine, Water, Titanium DioxideWhen labeling your product, additives incorporated at 3% should be listed after Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate.I got the list of ingredients from http://www.soapgoods.com/Crafters-Choice-Goats-Milk-p-986.html This was for their goats milk but they have the list for each soap they offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I believe they have better prices at Bramble Berry - and it's not a pre-buy "deal". I get my Goat's Milk MP base(and others) from BB; 10 lbs of GM base for a little over $27. The ingredients are exactly the same as SFIC.
