Melt & Pour ST – Clear Solid Base

Melt & Pour ST - Clear Solid Base is a ready-to-use soap base designed for melt and pour soap making. It removes the need for handling raw lye (sodium hydroxide), making it safe, convenient, and accessible for both hobbyist crafters and professional manufacturers. Simply melt, add your chosen fragrances, colours, and additives, then pour into moulds.

The typical melting range for Melt & Pour ST - Clear Solid Base is between 50–65°C depending on the specific formulation. We recommend melting using a bain-marie or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently, and avoiding overheating to preserve the base's clarity, texture, and lathering properties. Exact melting point data is in the specification sheet.

Yes - Melt & Pour ST - Clear Solid Base is designed to accept fragrance oils, essential oils, cosmetic colorants, glitter, exfoliants, and botanicals. Essential oils and fragrance oils are typically added at 1–3% once the base has cooled to around 60°C. Ensure any additives are skin-safe and compatible with the base formulation.

The suitability of Melt & Pour ST - Clear Solid Base for sensitive skin depends on the specific formulation. Many of O&3's bases are free from SLS, SLES, and other common irritants.

Finished soaps made from Melt & Pour ST - Clear Solid Base typically have a shelf life of 12–24 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The base itself should be stored sealed in its original packaging. Opened portions should be resealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption.
