Melt and Pour Soap (MP Soap)
A beginner-friendly soap making method using pre-made soap base that you melt in a microwave or double boiler, customize with colors and fragrances, and pour into molds. Melt and pour is perfect for crafters who want immediate results, intricate designs, and soap safe to use as soon as it hardens (no cure time needed). This method is ideal for kids' projects, quick gifts, and soap makers who want to avoid working with lye. Shop Melt and Pour Soap Making Supplies here.
