Today we are having a go at creating our own clear melt and pour soap base from scratch. This is a very different process than the one we use to create our usual cold process soaps and we have followed the video guide by Soaping 101 for today's video. If you wish to learn more about creating your own melt and pour base from scratch, then we recommend the following video from Soaping 101:

By carefully selecting our ingredients, we have managed to ensure that our own melt and pour base is palm oil free. If being palm free is important to you too, then be careful when selecting which stearic acid and Propylene glycol to purchase as both of these can be derived from palm in some cases.

As this is our first ever attempt, I want to make it clear that this is not a tutorial. This video is designed to take you behind the scenes of our business and show you what steps we take when we first think about introducing new product lines.

We will be showing part two of this experiment next Friday. Part two will show you how our melt and pour soap turns out and will also show us remelting it and adding in some colours and fragrances to create some new soaps.

We will be uploading new soap making videos every Friday and new behind the scenes/business focused videos every Tuesday!
