Aloe Vera Melt & Pour Glycerin Soap Base — Real Aloe, Soothing | Rich Lather
Contains SLS · Aloe Vera Infused · Soothing · Vegan · Melt & Pour Ready |
The cooling, soothing soap base for Indian summers — real aloe vera formulated into the base for skin-calming benefits that work on every wash.
Our Aloe Vera Melt & Pour Glycerin Soap Base is formulated with real aloe vera extract incorporated directly into the base formulation. Aloe vera is one of the most well-researched natural skin-soothing ingredients — its polysaccharides (Acemannan), mucopolysaccharides, and antioxidant compounds reduce skin irritation and provide intense surface hydration.
In India's climate — where heat rash, sunburn, dry skin, and general skin sensitivity are everyday concerns — an aloe vera soap base addresses real, daily skin needs. The base has a characteristic light green tint from the aloe and a naturally fresh, clean character that pairs beautifully with mint, cucumber, green tea, and citrus fragrances.
This base is vegan. This base contains a sulphate-based cleansing system, which produces a powerful, high-volume lather that is familiar to most soap users. It is suitable for body and hand soap applications. For facial soap or sensitive skin formulations, consider our Sulphate-Free range instead
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:
Real aloe vera incorporated: Aloe vera extract in the base formulation — not added as an afterthought or fragrance note, but built into the soap itself
Soothing & anti-inflammatory: Acemannan and polysaccharides in aloe reduce skin redness, calm irritation, and soothe sunburn on contact
High water-binding capacity: Aloe's mucopolysaccharides attract and retain water in the upper skin layers — intense surface hydration
Vegan and plant-derived: No animal-derived ingredients — suitable for vegan formulations
Whether you're crafting soap for personal use, gifting, or building your own soap brand — this base gives you the quality that speaks for itself.

How to Use
This is a complete, ready-to-use melt and pour soap base. No lye, no cold process, no specialist equipment needed.
Step 1: Cut into smaller cubes & Melt on medium-low power only in 20-second microwave bursts, stirring between each. Or use a double boiler on very low heat. Never exceed 65°C. Do not boil it may begin to discolour at high temperatures.
Step 2: Watch for colour change: if the base begins to turn distinctly yellow or develops a cooked-milk smell, it has been overheated. Reduce temperature before continuing.
Step 3: Once completely melted, cool to 55°C before adding fragrance (1–3%).
Step 4: Add colour if desired — very small amounts are needed as the warm base tone already gives a natural, rich appearance.
Step 5: Pour smoothly into moulds. Spritz surface immediately with IPA.
Step 6: Allow to set for 3–5 hours at room temperature.
Step 7: Wrap immediately in cellophane after unmoulding.
