Stephensons Clear SLS Free Soap Base | 2Kg

After a lot of research into the best melt and pour soap and ingredients, I decided to go for this. It was my first ever attempt at soap making and using such a product. I found that it melts quickly and is easy to use, BUT you will need to work with the melted hot soap QUICKLY as it re-solidifies fast. With this item, you get a huge amount (2KG) and it is great value for money. Unlike other reviews, I certainly found that the soap produces a reasonable amount of lather. In terms of lather quantity, I really couldn't differentiate this to store bought soap. Though, it is much better than soap bought at supermarkets, and does not over dry hands - excellent for sensitive skin. Also, the soaps we made lasted a decent length of time. I love it and we had many happy hours at soap making. Highly recommended for personal use or just for fun :)

This melt and pour soap base is super easy to use, you can just cut up what you need and then stick it in a glass bowl and put it in the microwave and it will melt nicely! Try and only heat it up in 30 sec increments and stir in between sessions to get the best result, so you don't overheat and have it boil out of the bowl! I added soap coloring and scent to my soaps and it turned out really well. Tip: you have to work with the hot soap quickly and spray rubbing alcohol on top to get rid of the bubbles on top! Also, one thing to note is that afterwards the soap does sweat if you have a warm room, but all melt and pour soaps do this, so you should always try and put cling film over the soaps, or shrink wrap them to prevent the soaps from air.

Easy to use and comes out well in moulds

Was looking for a plain soap with nothing but soap. This melts easily and sets beautifully clear in silicon trays. It lathers nicely and without adding anything to it makes a nice natural soap.

Info says 1kg makes between 10 and 20, [looks at newly poured soap].......9, 9 soaps.... I'm short one soap😭.

Making my own soaps became a new hobby during lockdown, which is something that I will definitely stick too. This soap base is amazing and so easy to use. I tend to use a range of essential oils and a few drops of soap colouring as well as adding some rubbing alcohol to make it antibacterial (lavender oil has antibacterial agents in it too) It’s been great for my sensitive skin. I have even started using my soaps to wash my hair too.

Arrived as advised by the seller. Had a first attempt at making some fragranced sop which came out extremely well for a first learning attempt. The product was easy to use but I do recommend that you read up on "How to use this product" first.

Really easy to use & very handy to have in for last minute gifts, just chop into chunks & melt in a jug in the microwave (medium power is best) once melted, add your fragrance/colour/additives of choice, pour into your mould, & then leave to set. Unlike cold processed, melt & pour soap is ready to use as soon as it’s set, it lathers well, & a bar lasts a long time, so it’s pretty economical as well.
