- Cool to 55–60 °C – a thin skin on top means it is ready.
- Add fragrance and colour and stir slowly (do not whisk, or you will trap bubbles).

Add-in chart
| Add-in | Per 1 kg | Per 5 kg | Tip |
| Fragrance oil (soap grade) | 10–30 ml | 50–150 ml | 1–3%, add at 55–60 °C |
| Essential oil | 5–20 ml | 25–100 ml | Max 2%, patch test |
| Soap colour | 2–5 drops | 10–25 drops | More drops = deeper shade |
| Dry herbs / oats / petals | 1–2 tbsp | 5–10 tbsp | Too much makes soap cloudy |
| Aloe gel / honey / extra glycerin | 1 tsp | 5 tsp | More makes soap soft and sweaty |
Use only cosmetic-grade fragrance and colour made for soap.
Common problems and quick fixes
| Soap "sweats" (water drops) | Glycerin pulls moisture from the air. Wrap each bar in cling film as soon as it sets and store below 30 °C. |
| Bubbles on top | Spray IPA right after pouring and again after 1 minute. |
| Cloudy soap | Base was overheated or boiled, or too many add-ins. Melt gently, max 70 °C. |
| Fragrance fades | Added when too hot. Add at 55–60 °C and use 1–3%. |
| Soft, sticky bars | Too much aloe, honey or oil. Keep liquids to about 1 tsp per kg. |
| Layers separate | Spray IPA between layers and pour the next layer at 55–60 °C. |

FAQs
Do I need caustic soda (lye) to use this?
No. The soap-making reaction is already done. You only melt, customise and pour.
How many soaps will 1 kg make?
About 8–10 bars of 100 g, or 15–20 small 50 g guest soaps.
Can I use food colour?
We recommend soap colours. Food colours often bleed and fade in soap.
Can I re-melt leftover soap?
Yes, small leftovers can be re-melted once. Repeated heating makes the base cloudy.
Why are my soaps getting wet?
That is glycerin "sweat" from humidity. Wrap bars in cling film soon after they set and store them in a cool place.
Do you give a GST invoice?
Yes, every order comes with a GST invoice.
Prefer road transport? For orders of 25 kg and above, tick Send by road transport (to-pay) in the cart and add your transporter’s name and number. You pay the freight to the transporter on delivery.
