HOW TO MAKE A MELT & POUR SHAMPOO BAR! (THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!!)

[@adrianagariswest6952]

Love it! How do you package it?

[@lunasol6445]

Thank you for this. I purchased your recipe and my customers LOVE them. I love using it, too. It works so great in hair! Absolutely perfect. Please do conditioner base next!

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Thank you!! I am so glad you and your customers live this formula!

[@AddictedNCali]

I need to try this base. I have been making M&P shampoo bars for about 2 years and I love them. The only draw back is that my customers love them so much they have been asking for a conditioner bar, um I haven't figured that out yet. Hopefully it is something that can be done. Thank you for sharing!

[@nancytguimaraes]

They have a conditioner base, too. Same company.

[@joniperiu8308]

Thanks for this video Do you know if I can use this melt and pour for dog shampoo bars?

[@FranklyNaturalBeauty]

Thank you for sharing. I want to try this so bad. I also watched Katie's video and I'm so intrigued by this product. Your shampoo bars look so nice!❤️

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Thank you!

[@dstevens1316]

Ii haven't made any soap/shampoo bars for ages. This one looks really fun to make and the scent/color has me intrigued as well! I'm all about easy and quick! Thanks so much for sharing this! Definitely one to print out! It will be my next project! 😊

[@selena22cta]

Everybody that used this base complained that it is a lil too soft .Can you add a little bit of sodium lactate to make the bar harder ? Love your videos

[@MsJangMi]

Thank you. This was a very well done video.

[@rasheedahali2137]

I just ordered some. I can’t wait until it comes in. I start making my husbands Christmas baskets with soaps, etc and I’ll be adding this to their baskets this year. Plus for me too. You know I love my shampoo bars! I’m down to a half of one of yours left!

Thank you

[@kajbathandbodyllc4318]

Hi, thank you for the video. Lots of great info! 👍❤️ I have a question about adding organic material into mp soap based. I would like to put sea moss gel into this base but everyone tells me that it can mold etc. I make cp and don’t have a lot of experience with mp. I’m so excited to try this shampoo car base! Yay!

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Hi thank you! You should check out my sea moss Mp soap video! Ive never experienced any problems with it. If you are worried, you could always add a preservative

[@desertoasiscreations]

Can you make a soap-free all-purpose leave-on cleansing water for camping and hiking so people can clean up without the use of water and soap?

[@MCGamerD]

I heard Roman soldiers used a salt scrub to wash up, in old times. Pretty much just salt and oils.

[@ambrabridges2161]

I have graying/white hair and I currently use purple shampoo and conditioner to prevent yellowing. What additives do you recommend to give shampoo bars the same benefit?

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Hi there, I am not really sure.

[@BlasianGoddessTM77]

I would like to make a hair soap bar using only natural ingredients, like Rosemary leave, fenugreek seeds, and aloe Vera gel. Also would like to add oils and essential ones. Is that possible? Only for me and my son.

[@ARTmentroutStudios]

Can you use cosmetic grade mica in these for colorant?

[@dannimccaslin6876]

I know this is an older video but I have a question. Can you do the same thing with Stephenson’s goats milk soap base or dose it have to be this specific kind?

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

A soap base is much different than a syndet bar. As far as using additives I’m sure you can add about the same amount to any melt and pour base, check the manufacturer recommendations and if they don’t specify try it on a really small batch of soap.

[@Lizvonmay9560]

Hi, what is the percentage of your additives? Thank you!

[@steadyglamourcosmetics]

I actually bought this melt and pour base from them too. It is convenient however, even with letting it age first before use it melts down way too quickly while using it. I only got like 2 uses out of one good sized bar that I made. I followed all the instructions on their website and did a ton of research on the ingredients first. made it a few different ways with the same outcome. I really don't think my customers will be happy with only a few times of use. so, it's a pass for me. Too bad because it was rather easy.

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Hi Jessica, wow, that is strange! I have had a completely different experience with this product. I have been using my test shampoo bar for several weeks now and it still has a lot of washes left in it. I even tested one of these bars on my dogs (I have two golden retrievers) and it washed both of them twice over with product to spare.

[@steadyglamourcosmetics]

@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany You know, I wonder if I got a bad batch? that is possible. I think I'm going to order a new one and try again. Yours came out nice though. I'm not going to give up yet. thank you!!!!!

How do you make the shamoo hard? because I did it and it was so soft that it ends in a single wash, it's like a cream shampoo :(

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Oh no, I have not experienced this

[@hillaryhouston9718]

Have you tried the melt and pour conditioner base from bulk apothecary?

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

I have not but now I’m intrigued!

[@kayewoods6624]

Which base is it?

[@tddjimmie]

Syndopour Stephenson Melt and Pour Shampoo Base.

[@tddjimmie]

Have you tested the pH?

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Not personally, however, the description of the product does indicate a balanced PH. After using it in my hair for a while, I can tell the Ph is balanced for scalps and sensitive skin because it doesn’t have a squeaky clean (too clean) or tangly feel.

Kindly share measurements

[@buttermilkbaysoap9416]

They have a synodopour one and a crystal ss solid shampoo base. Order the correct one.

[@waynegross2113]

Cory, I am very hesitant about this...I just feel if your advertising hand crafted shampoo bars, it's a stretch! I went to a lot of trouble formulating my shampoo bars to be upstarted by a premade base! I just don't think they are comparable. You even mention that there are limitations. I guess as a general base to wash your hair with, fine. I just don't feel that your getting the same great additives you get with a hand crafted shampoo bar! How are consumers supposed to know what they are really buying? Those are my concerns with this shampoo base. I don't knock anyone else for giving it a try, but I don't think it's a go for me personally. It was an interesting video to watch. Thank you for keeping us all informed about the possibilities out there! Your an awesome formulator. What are your views on a base vs. Hand crafted? Jill Gross Congrats on three years of Patreon!

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

Thank you Jill! Yes, I have had all the same feelings! My personal take on it is the same as how I feel about mp soap. I like my soaps and shampoos from scratch better than the mp bases. That being said, I do think this is a fine shampoo bar and a great alternative for people who don’t have or want a press. Also it makes a great alternative for people who don’t want to invest in all the expensive raw materials to make their own from scratch. It has its pluses and minuses like all bases. 😌

[@high-delights6961]

I don't see much difference between using this base or using sodium cocoyl isethionate and slsa sodium lauryl sulfoacetate as base ingredients.

[@waynegross2113]

@@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany Agreed!

[@waynegross2113]

@@high-delights6961 I just think if your going to ask people to pay you for a product. That you should create it yourself from scratch. I don't have a problem with other's doing so. I just as a personal practice, can't in good faith ask people to pay money to me for something I had less than my hands creating the product . I think people that create from a base should advertise their products as such. Sorry if that offends you.

[@kaycee6036]

@@waynegross2113 That's when they should label their product(s) hand crafted, not homemade. There's a difference

Cory how fast do you have to wrap these to avoid sweating. And if to wrap fast will they still get hard?

Lol, I actually haven’t wrapped any of them! They have not sweated at all! I would probably wait until they fully harden before wrapping .

I bought and made some shampoo bars with this base. I found they are too soft and they wash away fast. I will use it myself. I will not sell them. I am disappointed with it.

[@SunshineSoapandCandleCompany]

It’s interesting, I’ve not experienced that

[@karllundeen]

I have had the same experience with them. Only getting about a weeks worth of washes out of them before they are gone. Trying to test out other additives to make them last longer, but so far it's hard to justify selling these.
