What is melt and pour soap making?

Melt and pour is exactly what it sounds like: you melt a pre-made soap base, customize it with colors and scents, and then pour it into a mold. No need for complex chemical processes—just creativity, fun, and a little bit of patience! This method is perfect for anyone who loves DIY projects and wants to make thoughtful, handcrafted gifts.

And with Soaperstar’s premium soap bases, you can be sure that every bar you create will be luxuriously smooth, skin-friendly, and 100% high quality.

Step-by-Step: Making your own Soaperstar soap

1. Prepare your workspace

• Find a clean and organized space to work in.
• Gather all your materials: a heatproof container, a mixing tool, soap molds, and any colors, fragrances, or decorative elements you want to use.

2. Melt the soap base

• Cut your Soaperstar soap base into small cubes for even melting.
• Melt it gently using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir occasionally, and be careful not to overheat it! The soap should be liquid but never boiling.

3. Customize with colors and fragrances

• Add your favorite cosmetic-grade colorants and stir well for an even tone.
• Enhance your soap with scents like essential oils or fragrance oils to create a unique sensory experience.

4. Pour into molds

• Use silicone or plastic molds in different shapes and sizes.
• Pour the melted soap carefully into the molds, and if bubbles appear on the surface, spray a little rubbing alcohol to get rid of them.

5. Let it set and unmold

• Leave the soap to cool and harden at room temperature for a few hours.
• Once fully solidified, gently pop them out of the molds—and voilà! Your handcrafted soap is ready to use or gift.

Tips for perfect soaps every time

✨ Layering: Want a two-tone soap? Pour one layer, let it set slightly, spritz with alcohol, and add the next layer.

✨ Marbling & ombre effects: Swirl different shades together with a skewer for a dreamy, artistic effect.

✨ Dried flowers & glitter: Sprinkle dried petals or a touch of shimmer on top for an extra special touch.

✨ Personalized packaging: Wrap your soaps in silk pouches, label them with handwritten notes, and turn them into perfect handmade gifts.

More than just soap – A work of art

Making soap isn’t just a craft—it’s a way to bring your ideas to life. Every bar of soap you create is an expression of your personal style and imagination.
