Melt & Pour bases - Solid soaps

Melt & Pour soap base: artisan soap making made simple

Melt and Pour, or “melt and pour”, is a method of making solid soaps that stands out for its simplicity. It relies on a ready-to-use soap base that you simply melt and then pour into a mould. This soap-making method avoids tricky handling such as the use of caustic soda, while leaving plenty of creative freedom.

Why choose a ready-to-use soap base?

The main advantage of Melt and Pour lies in its accessibility. Beginners and keen soap makers alike easily create personalised soaps by adding oils, butters, dyes or fragrances. It is a quick, safe and creative alternative to traditional saponification, for a stable solid soap that is pleasant to use every day.

A wide choice of bases for solid soaps

Our Melt and Pour bases come in several versions suited to every need: enriched with nourishing butters, transparent for coloured soaps, or specially formulated for sensitive skin. They let you make much more than simple soaps: scrubs, solid shampoos, shaving foams or exfoliating products.

Making your homemade soap step by step

• Prepare the base: cut your soap base into small pieces for even melting.
• Melt gently: in a bain-marie or in the microwave at low power, without boiling.
• Personalise: add your chosen ingredients (fragrances, oils, butters, mica or dyes).
• Mould: pour the liquid mixture into your soap moulds and leave to cool.
• Unmould: after a few hours, your homemade solid soaps are ready to use.
  
  

Storage and points to watch

As with any cosmetic product, a few precautions are necessary. Store your bases in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original packaging to protect them from moisture. Their shelf life is between 12 and 18 months. Before any sale, you must comply with European cosmetic regulations and compile a Product Information File (PIF).

Safe bases that comply with cosmetic regulations

The Melt and Pour bases available on the market comply with the regulations in force and contain neither substances considered hazardous nor endocrine disruptors. For professional use, we recommend consulting a toxicologist to check that your formulas comply and to ensure the safety of your creations.
