Melt and Pour Soap Base Suspending
Average Product Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Based on 12 Customer Reviews)
Our Melt and Pour Suspending Soap Base is specially designed to 'suspend' additives such as jojoba beads or loofah. It can be used to create a decorative soap bar (e.g. such as by adding fine glitter) or a functional exfoliating bar. Creative possibilities are endless. Some trial and error is required with this product, as some additives may be too heavy for the suspending properties of the base to work properly. Users should try adding their ingredients at a slightly cooler temperature than normal, as the base will be thicker and more likely to suspend additives. The key ingredient in the Suspending M&P base is Silica. Silica creates a suspending matrix within the formulation, but that very property can also be apt to trap in more air and create a cloudy effect. Therefore, when stirring in additives, it should be done very gently and avoid any abrupt stirring as this can inadvertently welcome air into the formulation and cause unwanted cloudiness of the base.
Usage: A two pound brick can make between 10 - 20 soaps, depending on the size of the soap you’re trying to make.

Caution: When making soaps it is good to remember that the Melt & Pour Bases contain water as part of the formula. So if they are left exposed to the atmosphere, the water will evaporate and the bar of soap will shrink. We would recommend fully wrapping the ENTIRE soap bar as soon as it is poured and cooled--this should minimize/eliminate any shrinkage.

I was surprised, I tried it for the first time, I think I might have tried to rush it too much, but the Jojoba oils def. mix everywhere. I made the soap for my husband and he seems to like it! :)

What a fantastic soap. This is the perfect soap to use if you are adding certain ingredients (i.e. oatmeal, rose petals, lavender buds, etc.). The soap helps to suspend the ingredients so that it doesn't float to the bottom or top like it does with the standard glycerin "melt and pour" soaps. I would gladly purchase this again.

I had my very first M&P experience with this product, and was very pleased. I was also pleasantly surprised to see how fast and easy it was to use! I tried it with glitter and a bit of fragrance as a gift for three young girls, and the soaps turned out beautifully, the glitter perfectly and homogeneously suspended.

Heard so much about that I couldn't wait to try and now have ordered for it and waiting for that to come thru, other than that I think the other soap products I have bought are really good so far.

I was a little skeptical of this product, assuming it was nothing but clear melt and pour, just with a higher price tag. Wrong! It works great, suspended all kinds of things. Its a great product, and I will be buying again.

The Suspension Soap is a life-saver when making melt and pour with dry additives. No longer does my oatmeal float to the top or sink to the bottom! You do have to watch the temperature closely as it doesn't tolerate 'too hot', as with stirring it too much. Just a wonderful product! Worth the price of keeping things evenly "suspended" throughout the bar.
