Craft 360 clear melt and pour soap base – 100% natural, perfect for embedding and layering

Olive Clear Melt & Pour Cleansing Soap Base

Next-Gen Melt & Pour Soap, Powered by Nature. It Feels Like the Real Thing.

About this Base

What if you could create crystal-clear soap bars without synthetic additives, high pH, or the usual "sweating" that plagues standard melt-and-pour?

What if your soap base looked beautiful, felt gentle on the skin, and supported truly clean, natural skincare?

This is that base. Not a compromise—but an upgrade.

The Clear Cleansing Bar Base is the result of years of development by a chemist dedicated to creating a truly natural alternative. Made from 100% naturally derived ingredients, with every component accepted by the Natural Products Association (NPA) and verified by Ecogolik, it raises the bar for what melt-and-pour soap can be.

Why It's So Good

This next-generation base is designed to outperform conventional melt-and-pour—delivering the creamy lather, softness, and hydration that feels just like traditional bar soap.

🗸 A gentle pH of approximately 8 makes it suitable for most skin types and helps preserve the stability of added ingredients.
🗸 Low-sweat formulation—ideal for shelf display, gifting, or selling at markets.
🗸 Smooth melt and consistent set with a clear, professional-looking finish.
🗸 Free from synthetic additives, and harsh fillers.
🗸 Fully customisable—add up to 5% essential oils, natural colours, botanicals, or skin-loving actives.

One clear base. Infinite creative freedom.

This isn’t just a melt-and-pour alternative—it’s a next-generation cleansing bar base built for clean beauty brands, hobbyists, and makers alike.

💡 Ideal for those who value performance, purity, and a professional finish—without compromise.

Ingredients

Ingredients (INCI):
Sodium Stearate, Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Sodium Laurate, Coco-Glucoside, Sucrose, Propanediol, Sodium Olivate, Sodium Citrate.

All plant-based ingredients are naturally derived. Any palm-derived ingredients (e.g. Sodium Laurate, Lauric Acid, Coco-Glucoside) are sourced from RSPO-certified sustainable palm.

Our glycerin and propanediol are also plant-based.
Sodium hydroxide, a mineral-based compound, is required for the soap-making process and is fully neutralised in the final product.
We prioritise clean, ethical sourcing to ensure the highest quality and lowest environmental impact.

How to Use

Cut the base into small cubes or flakes.
Melt gently using a microwave or stovetop (heat 70%, stir, and let residual heat do the rest).
Cool to 50–60°C, then add up to 5% of your desired water-based ingredients or up to 2% Oil based additives.
Pour into moulds and allow to set.
If a light foamy layer forms, simply scrape smooth—no need for alcohol sprays.

FAQs

How is this base so clear without synthetic additives or alcohol?

It’s all in the formulation. This base is crafted from 100% naturally derived ingredients—including plant-based humectants—that delivers exceptional clarity without artificial solvents. The result? A clear bar that feels as pure as it looks.

Will this soap stay clear and smooth when stored or sold at markets?

Yes—especially with good storage. This is a low-sweat formulation, so your bars maintain their clarity and crispness even in warmer or more humid environments. Just store them in a cool, dry spot or wrap them to preserve that glassy finish.

Can I add botanicals, oils, or colour without clouding the soap?

Yes, with the right approach. This base supports up to 5% of custom additions. For best clarity, choose compatible essential oils and avoid clouding ingredients like milks or clays. Done right, you’ll get a clear bar that’s totally your own—without sacrificing the polished look.
