Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this melt and pour soap base to create Christmas gifts for my friends and family - I wanted something that was easy as I have never made soap before, but something that was also good for the skin and all natural. I performed hours of research and made several test batches before I came up with a perfect soap to suit everyone on my list (recipe below). 1. After chopped into small cubes (1" x 1") the soap melted easy in the microwave - I placed it in a large pyrex measuring cup and melted in the microwave on 30 second bursts to prevent it from burning (I stirred it up between each 30 second burst) - I was super easy! 2. It smells wonderfully clean and does not contain any artificial ingredients. This product does contain Titanium Dioxide, which gives it it's opaque color (I later found that this is the case for most soaps) 3. It is smooth and creamy and feels really nice on the skin - It does not leave a greasy or oily residue. 4. It lathers up pretty good, even with all of the extra ingredients I added to it Exfoliating Soap Recipe 3 cups Melt and Pour Soap Base 1 tbsp baking soda 1 tbsp coffee grounds 1/2 tbsp French Green clay 1/2 tbsp Shea or Mango Butter 2 tsp Essential Oil of your choice 1. Melt soap in microwave as described above 2. Allow melted soap to cool a little before adding your other ingredients - this allows them to suspend more in the soap and not fall to the bottom 3. Add shea or mango butter, coffee grounds, clay, and essential oil 4. Stir until well blended 5. Pour mixture into mold and let set overnight (it will set up in 3 - 4 hours, however, I like to allow it to completely harden before de-molding Highly recommend this product for all of the reasons listed above.
