Soap base is a pre-made, solid form of soap used as a starting point for creating custom soap products. It’s designed to be melted and then mixed with various additives like fragrances, colors, and textures to create unique soap bars. There are several types of soap bases, including:

1. Glycerin (Transparent) Base: This base produces clear or translucent soaps and is known for its moisturizing properties.
2. Goat Milk Base: Contains goat milk, which is gentle on the skin and adds moisturizing benefits.

To use a soap base, you typically cut it into small pieces, melt it (usually in a microwave or double boiler), and then mix in your chosen additives before pouring it into molds to set. This method is popular because it’s relatively easy and allows for customization without needing to create soap from scratch.
