Shea Butter Soap Base contains unrefined shea butter that has not been exposed to chemicals or heat, helping preserve its natural moisture, nutrients, and colour. It is white and opaque in appearance and ideal for creating gentle, nourishing soaps for all skin types.
Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, E, and F, this base hydrates and soothes dry skin, promotes skin regeneration, and helps heal minor cuts, burns, and rashes. It reduces inflammation, boosts collagen for firmer skin, improves elasticity, and offers mild UV protection due to its cinnamic acid content. Suitable for sensitive or inflamed skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis.

1. Cut the soap base into cubes the size of ice cube and fill the container (in which you are melting the base) up to 75% of its volume with soap base. Add 1 to 2% filtered water to compensate for moisture loss. Melting less than 75% may result in faster solidifying of the base.
2. Melt the soap base in a microwave or a double boiler.
MICROWAVE USERS : Set the timer to 3 min and stop every 30 sec to check the soap base. Stir once or twice if required. Do not boil the soap base.
DOUBLE BOILER USERS : Melting temperature should be between 75 to 80 degree celsius. Cover the top of the utensil while melting and stir lightly in between. Once the base is melted, do not remove the utensil from heat, instead reduce the heat.
3. Add the additives such as colour, fragrance and herbs. Then mix it and pour it into the mould. Let it cool down till room temperature. De-mould the soap once set and pack it in a shrink wrap paper to avoid contact with moisture.
