Stephenson Melt and Pour Soap Base - Suspension

Stephenson melt and pour suspension base can be used to create a decorative soap bar by adding a fine glitter or a functional exfoliating bar by using finely ground cranberry seed, apricot meal, jojoba spheres, herbs, etc. Creative possibilities are endless.

Some trial and error is required with this product, as some additives may be too heavy for the suspending properties of the base to work properly. Users should try adding their ingredients at a slightly cooler temperature than normal, as the base will be thicker and more likely to suspend additives.

The key ingredient in the Suspending melt and pour soap base is silica. Silica creates a suspending matrix within the formulation, but that very property can also be apt to trap in more air and create a cloudy effect. Therefore, when stirring in additives, it should be done very gently and avoid any abrupt stirring as this can inadvertently welcome air into the formulation and cause unwanted cloudiness of the base.
