Coolmint Soap Base

Soapaloop’s COOLMINT  melt-and-pour soap base is a pre-made base made from saponified oils, coconut oil, and COOLMINT. It can be melted down and then customized with the addition of colors, fragrances, and other ingredients, before being poured into molds to harden and create a finished bar of soap. COOLMINT is known for its gentle and nourishing properties and is a popular ingredient in soap making.

Here are the basic steps for using COOLMINT  melt and pour soap base to make homemade soap:

1. Gather your supplies: You will need a digital scale, a heat-resistant container for melting the soap base, a spatula or spoon for stirring, molds for shaping the soap, and any additional ingredients you want to add (such as fragrance, color, or herbs).
2. Melt the soap base: Measure out the desired amount of COOLMINT  melt and pour the soap base using a digital scale. Cut the soap base into small chunks and place it in a heat-resistant container. Melt the soap base in the microwave or on a double boiler, stirring occasionally until it is completely melted.
3. Add fragrance and color: If desired, you can add fragrance oils or colorants to the melted soap base. Start with a small amount and then add more if needed. Stir well to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Pour into molds: Carefully pour the melted soap base into molds, leaving a little room at the top for the soap to expand as it cools. If you want to create layers or embed objects in the soap, you can pour a thin layer of the melted base into the mold, let it cool slightly, and then add another layer.
5. Allow to cool: Allow the soap to cool and harden in the molds. This typically takes several hours, but the time will vary depending on the size and shape of the molds. Once the soap is cool, you can remove it from the molds and enjoy it.

It’s important to note that these steps are just a general guide and that different recipes may have different instructions. Always make sure to read the instructions that come with the soap base and use the recommended usage rate for any additional ingredients.
