Melt and pour soap is a great option for beginners! In this video, Bramble Berry CEO and Founder, Anne-Marie Faiola, goes over the basics of melt and pour soapmaking.
All you have to do is melt the premade base, customize it with your favorite colors and scents, and pour into a mold. Once you get the hang of the process, you can experiment with advanced techniques like layers and swirls.

I loved going to Otion and spending time there browsing your awesome products for purchase! Loved making a day trip out of it, stop at Boomer's and drive Chuckanut Dr. on the way back home. I'm thankful for all you've contributed to the soapmaking world all these years, thank you! Mel 🙏💝🧼

Thanks for the helpful video! I started soap making backwards, going straight for Cold Process because I thought that was how "real" soap "should" be made. But I now realize that's a silly mindset to have. Cold Process is great, but there's nothing wrong with Melt and Pour! I'm excited to have an easier and safer method under my belt for times when I want to make pretty soap but I really don't feel like going the extra mile.

Thank you so much for the explanation of the results of overheating. It's in my block mold right now and I have hopes it will set up right and not flake into pieces when used but time will tell.

Bramble Berry's various soap bases help you achieve your desired design. 😊💖 There are many options, and you can choose. MP soap is a material used a lot by beginners, but a quality MP soap base is still a source of inspiration for even experienced soap makers!👍

@micahthomas9521 9 ай бұрын

Agreed. Sad when I see ppl making beautiful soap with a low quality soap base that has detergents and sulphates in it! That stuff dries out my skin. If ur gonna do MP, go for the higher quality soap bases out there. And Bramble Berry sells it.😊
