Stephensons White Opaque Melt and Pour Soap Base - Technical Information

Stephensons White Opaque Melt and Pour Soap Base

The Stephensons Melt and Pour White Soap Base is the same formula as the Clear Soap Base. It is odor free and is cream to white in color. This Glycerin Soap base is all vegetable oil and contains no alcohol or harmful products to dry your skin! Glycerin, a natural emollient, draws moisture out of the air to benefit skin health. It cleanses without stripping or upsetting the delicate natural pH balance necessary for soft, healthy skin. And, since we use no heavy animal oils, our soap rinses clean and leaves no soapy film behind. All our soap bases are produced from the highest quality double distilled and deodorized clear coconut oil, forming luxurious lather and sparkling clarity.

Our Review

We have found this base to be one of the best generic melt and pour bases out there with a soft lather and brilliant white finish.

It does contain a very small amount of SLS but we find it suitable for all but the most sensitive of skin. This base feels much nicer on the skin and seems leave the skin softer than the Claranol SLS free version.

The natural base is the other alternative which contains no synthetic foamer but we really don't like that base. It doesn't leave a nice feeling on the skin and hardly foams.

So unless you have ultra sensitive skin this is a great base to start your adventure into soap making.

The base can also be coloured but the shades won't be as bright as with the Crystal Clear version but you can still make very pretty coloured soaps.
