Sulphate-Free Ultra White Opaque Melt & Pour Soap Base — Gentle, Rich Lather
SLS-Free · Glycerin Base · Opaque White · High Lather · Melt & Pour Ready |
The soap maker's blank canvas — a clean, opaque white base that makes every colour vivid, every design crisp, and every bar look like it belongs on a retail shelf. Now in a sulphate-free formula — gentler, skin-pH-friendlier, and ideal for sensitive skin and daily facial use
Our Ultra White Opaque Melt & Pour Glycerin Soap Base is a standard glycerin base with Titanium Dioxide added to create a clean, solid white opacity. Unlike the transparent base where colours appear as jewel tones against a clear background, this base makes colours appear as they would on white paper — bright, saturated, and true to the colourant used.
This is India's most popular and most versatile melt and pour base — suitable for virtually every soap design including solid-colour bars, marbled soaps, two-tone layered bars, and embossed soap. It is the recommended starting base for anyone new to soap making, and the workhorse base for soap makers who want consistent, professional-looking results across a full product range.
This is the Sulphate-Free version of our White Opaque Melt & Pour Glycerin Soap Base. The lather is slightly creamier and less voluminous than the SLS version — a characteristic of genuinely mild cleansing systems. Suitable for sensitive skin, daily facial use, and children's soap
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:
SLS & SLES Free: Cleansing system is sulphate
Skin-pH-friendlier: Milder cleansing system reduces disruption to the skin's acid mantle — less post-wash tightness, less stripping
Suitable for sensitive skin: Sulphate-free formula is appropriate for daily facial use, sensitive skin, and children's soap (age-appropriate fragrances only)
Creamy, conditioning lather
Ideal for beginners: White base forgives minor colouring errors and produces consistent, professional results with minimal technique
Rich glycerin conditioning: Glycerin content leaves skin noticeably softer after washing compared to standard commercial soap
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.
