Best Soap Making Bases & Melts of 2025

"I find this soap base extremely easy to work with. It cuts easily, has zero scent, and works well with either the double boil or microwave method. The cleanup is quick and smooth! It’s perfect for making homemade soaps, especially when adding dried lavender and essential oils. I recommend using clear cellophane for wrapping, as paper can affect the soap's quality."

"I was really excited about this soap base because of its natural ingredients. It came with a recipe book, which was a nice touch. However, I found that it doesn't lather well and left my skin feeling a bit rough. I was hoping for a better experience, so I may not purchase it again."

"I loved how easy this soap base was to work with! It melted nicely and accepted colors and scents beautifully. My favorite version included oats, and I plan to buy this product again. I just wish they offered a larger quantity at a better price!"

"My kids were thrilled to receive soap making kits, but the first ones were disappointing. I decided to give it another go and bought this product. What a difference! It stayed liquid long enough for multiple colors, and was much easier to work with. If you’ve had a bad experience with kid soap kits, this is worth a try!"

"After seeing a soap making video that used raw aloe, I was inspired to create my own. I found this soap base at a great price and it was unscented. The results were beautiful! My soaps lather well, and my skin feels amazing. Now, I can make my own face soap and save money on expensive products!"

"I’m so pleased with my purchase! Making soaps at home is such a joy, and I love being able to customize them to my liking. Thank you for providing such a fantastic product!"

"I discovered this product when my mom was still alive. I made her organic soaps and lotions, which I believed were better for her skin than store-bought ones. Since my apartment has restrictions on caustic materials, I chose a melt-and-pour soap base. This made it easy to customize the soaps as I liked. This was my second purchase, and it really simplified the process for me."

"This soap base is incredibly easy to melt, and I love the off-white/clearish color. It's a great value for the price and is non-scented, which works perfectly for my soap-making needs!"

"I'm relatively new to using melt-and-pour bases, but this one is the best I've tried so far. I’ve had some challenges getting my patchouli scent strong enough, but I plan to try adding honey next time for better lather. As Arnie says, 'I'll be back'!"

"I find this melt and pour soap base incredibly silky smooth and I appreciate the family's dedication to keeping things pure. I am definitely a lifelong user!"

"I’ve been watching soap-making videos and was thrilled to find this goat's milk soap base. It includes all the oils I would have bought separately, at a better price. I made 16 bars from the 5 lb bag. It's easy to use in the microwave, and I love that I can add whatever I want. I probably won’t buy soap again!"

"I use this soap straight up! I wanted goat milk soap without colors or scents. This is the perfect solution! It works just like other goat milk soaps that cost around $10 a bar. It’s easy to cut and doesn’t melt on the soap tray."

"I’ve been making melt-and-pour soap as gifts for years now. I started using this brand a few years back, and it's been ideal! The price is reasonable, and the quality remains consistent year after year. It lathers nicely, making it a wonderful soap that my friends and family enjoy daily."

"This goat milk melt & pour soap base is truly a dream for anyone making homemade soap! The quality is fantastic; it melts down smoothly and evenly, which makes it easy to work with even for beginners. I appreciate that it's free from harsh chemicals, and it leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized after each use. The subtle scent blends beautifully with essential oils. Overall, it's versatile and produces a luxurious lather. Highly recommend!"

"I bought this soap base to start making my own soaps, and I have no complaints at all! The quality is great, and the process is easy. The soaps last a long time, even with daily use, and they leave my skin so soft. The lather is impressive too. I colored my first bar with turmeric and added lemon oil, and it turned out wonderful!"

"I ordered 10 lbs of the Goat Milk Soap Base, and I was pleased with the cute packaging and how it came wrapped in 1 lb bricks. While I noticed that goat milk extract is listed last in the ingredients, which makes me think there's minimal goat milk, the texture is nice, and it molded perfectly. For the price, it's a good product for entry-level soap makers, and I'd buy it again for future projects."

"I found this soap base to be incredibly easy to use! I melted it on the stove, added breastmilk, lavender essential oils, and oats before pouring it into the molds. After about 6 hours in the fridge, they turned out amazing!"

"As a first-time soap maker, I was thrilled with how this product worked. I used walnut shells from my orchard for exfoliation, and I must say, the results were beautiful! Thank you for such a great soap base!"

"I absolutely love the creamy lather of this oatmeal soap! It feels wonderful on my skin and lasts a long time, making it a fantastic value. I prefer to keep it simple without added scents or colors."

"I bought this soap previously and loved it, so I decided to purchase a larger quantity this time. Other brands I've tried left an oily film and lacked smoothness, but this soap is the closest to a natural pure white soap I’ve found. It takes color well and dries quickly and evenly. I highly recommend the 5+5 pounds of clear glycerin and goat milk soap to try out two of their best products; I'm sure you'll enjoy it and come back for more!"

"This soap was a game changer for me! I used it to make soaps as thank you favors for my baby shower and everyone loved them. They mentioned how the soap made their skin feel soft and smooth, and it even helped with rashes and dryness. I would definitely recommend this as a base for making soaps or for general use."

"I find this soap to be my favorite! As a soap business owner, I keep returning to this base because it’s just that good. Thank you, Velona!"
