Soap Bases :: RebatchingBack to top

Rebatching Soap Bases - These bases are traditionally used for hand-milled recipes. They are sized in approximately one-pound bricks. If you want to use Norma Cooney's recipes from The Complete Soapmaker, or make Marie Browning's Beautiful Handmade Natural Soaps, you will want to use these bases. NOTE: We suggest you use Bramble Berry's water recommendations with the recipes in either of these books. We have found the water usage in their recipes results in soaps that come out a bit thin and liquidy.

Because of their unique handcrafted nature these bases are sold "deli" style. We will get as close to the pound increment you requested with your charges broken down to one-hundredth pound increments. For example, if you ordered 2 pounds and we sent you 1.89 pounds, (30.24 oz.) the price would be $11.34 at the rate of $6 per pound. ($0.375/oz.)

REMEMBER: Rebatch is NOT a melt and pour type of soap base. Read a basic explanation of rebatching.

Liquid Soap Bases & Shower ProductsBack to top

Foaming Bath Butter - Back by popular demand! Foaming Bath Butter is the perfect base to create luxurious shaving soap, spill-proof sugar and salt scrubs, fun body parfaits, and invigorating exfoliating scrubs.

Direction:
Whip up a minimum of 2 pounds at one time. Add oil, fragrance, and color and mix on low until smooth, then blend on high until doubled in volume. We like to add 2 ounces of Sweet Almond oil for a more moisturizing end product, but you can add any carrier oil you prefer. You can add up to 5% fragrance by weight. But we prefer a usage rate of 3% - so for 2 pounds of butter you only need 1 ounce of fragrance oil. Of course, it is always best to test a small batch first.

Tips:
Don’t overwhip or the butter can collapse like a souffle!
Use a traditional mixer with a beater to help incorporate air into the butter for the lightest, fluffiest end product.

Ingredients: Distilled Water, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Tetrasodium EDTA
