5% OFF - On 1 Block of Soap Base Only!

The discount is reflected in the pricing.

Stephenson's Melt and Pour Natural SLS Free Soap Base is free from foam boosters such as SLS and SLES. It won't turn yellow during processing, is odor-free and offers a superior fragrance lift. However, this soap is extremely cloudy and can have a mottled appearance.

Our Melt & Pour Glycerin Soap base is ALL VEGETABLE OIL and contains no alcohol or harmful products to dry your skin! Glycerin, a natural emollient, is included to draw moisture from the air to benefit skin. It cleanses without stripping or upsetting the delicate natural pH balance necessary for soft, healthy looking skin. And, since we don't use animal oils, our soap rinses clean and leaves no soapy film behind. All our soap bases are produced with high-quality raw materials to form a luxurious lather and sparkling clarity.

Usage: A two pound brick can make between 10 - 20 soaps, depending on the size of the soap you’re trying to make.

Important Note: Occasionally, Melt and Pour Soap Base Natural SLS Free may have an uneven coloring, which is known as mottling. Mottling, which is formed during the cooling phase of the soap production, is purely aesthetic and does not affect the quality or performance of the soap. Once the soap base has been re-melted, mottling will no longer be visible. Be sure to cut the base from top to bottom, portion by portion, horizontally when re-melting.

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 love this soap base, it is a nice base to work with and makes a long lasting bar of soap.

I'm attempting to find anything good about this product. It doesn't work like the Crystal Melt and Pour soap base does, which is what I've been using for 5 years. I would like to go SLS free for my customers, but if this garbage performs this poorly, I'm not sure I can make use of it. A film forms over the melted soap, even before it's all poured out of the measuring cup I use. Also, when I film is over the top of the soap, you'd think it would hold up, but once you try and pour a layer over, it breaks through every time. It's horrible!

I want to start making my own soaps and thought this SLS-free base a good place to start. Safe for my husband and I, as well as our kids. It was very easy to use, next to no odor at all, and let the essential oils shine. I did find there were a lot of small bubbles, which I couldn't seem to get rid of. Maybe it was something I was doing wrong, or not doing, though. I added activated charcoal to the soap, and loved how clean it left my skin feeling. Very glad I opted to use this base as my starting place.

I used this for my first adventure into M&P soap making. I was attracted by the composition of the soap as an SLS formula. I think that the lahter is comparable to a castille soap, and it wasn't nearly as "suds-less" as I expected. However, this could be to do with the amazing soft water on the West coast, or the fact that I haven't used a conventional soap in a long time... This took scent wonderfully too!

I really appreciate NDAs commitment to providing SLS free soap bases. This base is relatively hard- much harder than the new carrot, cucumber, aloe or olive soap base which I happen to love although they use up much faster, so this one should be great for the bath tub! It is slightly opaque while several of the other bases are really clear but it took colorant and EO very nicely. A slight disadvantage I found while using it was that it was difficult to get rid of the air bubbles.

I use this base for all of my children's products as well as my Himalayan salt "spa" bars. As other reviewers have noted this base does not produce a high lather but some of my customers prefer the lower lather. For my personal use I add castor oil to the bars and find that this makes a big difference. Overall it is a nice base to work with and makes a long lasting bar of soap.

This is a wonderful soap for my therapeutic and floral soaps. I cannot have tar, chemicals, or SLS and it's derivatives in my ancient Biblical historical products so this is perfect. It holds the EOs until the end of the bar of soap1

Love that it's mostly natural but it doesn't lather very well. Almost no lather at all. Probably due to the sulfates removed. Have to get use to that I guess.

I bought this to make a shampoo bar because I was too lazy to make a batch of cold process soap. It is my first time making MP soap and it has a totally different feel from CP soap. VERY LITTLE LATHER if you use it on skin but it creates wonderful thick bubbles when you use it on hair. Cleanses very, very, very well. Excellent stain remover for clothes. A bit too drying for my hair but it is moisturizing for the skin.

The positive with this base is that it is SLS free and it is inexpensive. It has no smell and makes a hard soap. However, it is not clear enough for embeds and makes very little lather. There are better (and more expensive) SLS free clear bases.

Lower sudsing for sure - but a beautiful base for those looking for no propylene glycol and no SLES. Rinses clean, feels great, no drying effects. I like it! Can we have it in 25 pounds blocks, please?

Great price for this SLS base. Not much lather to it, some scents do not hold well in it as others do, but thats pretty much for any base I suppose. I add CG to it after I homogenize it, and lots of lather from a natural base!! Holds botanicals very well, I recommend this base for sure!!

Made myself some soap with the sls free and I love it!!! Rinses off clean, holds the scent of EOs perfectly and mixes nicely with my body butters. I feel the lather if fine, if you use it with a puff you even get more lather from it. My family all wants a bar of it now. I am hooked and will be buying more soon.

Gentle and safe ingredients. Moisturizing even without additives. Does not leave a tight dry feel which is nice. Lather reduced but to be expected with SLS / SLES free soap base. You have to work up a good lather if that's important to you. I like it as is.... Cut off a piece and use. Although I just melted a poured one soap. Wow....once melted base becomes crystal clear! Neat! Holds aromatics well. Easy to work with - just cut out along scored lines.....

Thank you for this great soap base, I got it home about 3 weeks ago, I melted it and added grinded lavendar flowers and essential oil and grinded oatmeal, and the other one grinded chamomile flowers and lemon grass and some essential oils. What a nice soap, my skin is soft and lovely. Everyone loved my soap and all wanted some. Thank you

My first M&P attempt. Was a hit at my daughter's 11th B-day party. All the girls made soap, lip balm (with NDA's lip balm base) and bath bombs. The soap itself needs a good working up to lather but is easy enough to use. Does 'sweat' quite alot even with no water added. All in all, a good purchase.

I was very disappointed with this soap base. I was hoping for clear, transparent colour but it is very cloudy. Not what I had hoped. I bought too much and will have to mix with Shea and Goat's Milk to get rid of it all. Will definitely stick with the Clear Glycerin base instead.

I really enjoyed using this product! I've had a chance to be creative with all sorts of essential oils and artificial fragrances, adding ground oatmeal, kaolin, honey, and/or oil, and I recently created a beautiful chai tea soap and found this product held the scent very well and also coloured quite naturally. I've also been very successful using this as a base for shaving cream! A great product, indeed!

Contrary to other peoples' reviews, I found this soap's lather to be reduced quite a bit, and adding certain essential oils kills the lather even further. I think the benefits outweigh the cons, however. This base has allowed me to create gentle soaps for young children and people with skin issues. (I've been told it doesn't aggravate psoriasis at all.) This was the first Stephenson's soap base I've dabbled with, and I look forward to trying others.

This soap is more than great it is EXCELLENT!! Any person I have given a small bar to has come back for more. One lady who has skin problems emailed me and said finally after one year her face is healing in only 10 days of using my soap. I would love to take all the credit for this but I can\'t. The SLS Free Soap Base is the greatest of all. All I did was add essential oils. Thanks so much. Good News Travels Fast

This soap is absolutely fabulous. It's a huge hit with my client base, simply because it's SLS and SLES free. Even though these additives are not present, the soap still has a beautiful lather!!! It's extremely easy to work with, cuts cleanly and melts nicely in a double boiler. I also find that this soap blends nicely and holds lemongrass EO very well!

Thank you ND for offering an alternative to the toxic products out there! The more people using these types of things the more we can get the word out about what's really in the drugstore. I really can't tell the difference between this and a "regular" soap. It isn't any less foamy or bubbly. I found if I let the bar of soap harden a little in the air it lasts longer too.

I just made my first M& P batch with this base and the soaps all came out just fantastic! It was easily to cut and use and the end result was amazing. Its nice to have less chemical options available at such affordable prices. I have super sensitive skin so I am always looking for the least chemical ingredients as possible in my cosmetics which gives me less chances on reacting to something. So I will always chose the more environmental and healthy choices whenever I can and now I can do so afforadably with this high quality product. I am hooked and I will be back for more.

I cannot tell you how thrilled I was with the results of using this SLS Free Soap! It is white in the block, but when melted and infused with my Aromatics & Flowers, it came out CRYSTAL CLEAR...gently colored only by the Ess. Oils. In addition, the 24Kt. Gold Mica that I used in my first Amber prototype soap, actually distributed evenly throughout the soap...no settling at the bottom! This amazing SLS Free soap registers 1000% on my scale!

This is, hands down, the most fabulous SLS Free base I have ever used. I've tried several, but have always had to compensate for the natural "smell" of the base by adding more fragrance or essential oil, not exactly economical. This base is totally scent-free in its pure state. Takes additives beautifully, gorgeous lather, very gentle on the skin. My customers have noticed a big difference too in terms of longevity as well -- the finished product dissolves much less quickly. I've always told my customers not to let their soap sit in a puddle, but with this one, the lifespan is almost double of the other bases I've used. The packaging is brilliant, I love the fact that the 2 lb container is pre-scored into 4 separate pieces. Makes working with it a heck of a lot easier. I'm totally sold on this product. Two thumbs up!!
