Frequently Asked Questions
Cut the soap base into small cubes for even melting. Melt in a microwave-safe container in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or use a double boiler over low heat. Heat until just melted (around 120-140°F) — avoid overheating. Add fragrance, color, and additives, stir gently to minimize bubbles, then pour into molds. Allow to cool completely before unmolding, typically 1-2 hours at room temperature.
Yes! This soap base accepts both fragrance oils and cosmetic-grade colorants beautifully. We recommend adding fragrance oil at 1-2% of your soap base weight (approximately 0.15-0.3 oz per pound). Add colorants sparingly — a little goes a long way. Stir gently after adding to minimize air bubbles. Always use skin-safe fragrances and colorants designed for soap making.
Store unused soap base wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or sealed in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption. Keep in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, the base will remain usable for 1-2 years. If the base develops condensation (glycerin dew), it's still safe to use — simply pat dry before melting.
Avocado butter provides rich nourishment that dry and mature skin types appreciate. It delivers a substantial conditioning feel with lasting softness and creates dense, long-lasting bars. The green/natural association also appeals to clean beauty positioning.
The rich profile of avocado butter is best suited for dry or mature skin, or for cold-weather skincare products. For customers with oily skin or those preferring lighter textures, consider offering alternatives like Mango Butter or Hempseed Oil soap bases.
