Our handmade all natural soap shreds are made using
some of the finest ingredients on the market.

If you have ever wanted to make homemade soap, but haven't because of concerns about handling lye, then you may find handmilling your own homemade soaps to be a great alternative.

Handmilled soap is made by melting homemade soap shreds that have no fragrances, additives or colorants added. It is an easy method that one can use to create lovely homemade soaps without having to use lye.

We offer a variety of different types of soap shreds that are sure to meet anyone's needs and/or budget. All of our soap shreds were formulated to create soaps that have a nice and creamy lather that is not drying to the skin.

We do the hard work so that you can enjoy the creative process of making your own handmade soaps, without the mess and worries that one encounters when making soap from scratch.

Our soap shreds are gentle enough to use for making handmilled soaps, salt scrubs, sugar scrubs, bubbling bath sachets, liquid soaps and any other type of product that uses soap shreds in it's recipe. They can also be used to make your own custom shampoo using your own selection of fragrances and additives.

About Our Soap Shreds

We offer several different types of soap shreds, each formulated to suit a particular purpose. Some of our shreds melt faster than others, based on the formulation amd ingredients used in making the shreds.

All of our soap shreds are all natural with no added chemicals, fragrances, colorants or other additives. Our shreds are made using the cold process or hot process soap making methods. They melt well in microwaves, crock pots, the oven and double boilers when making handmilled soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents, bath sachets, bath soaks, liquid soaps and sugar or salt scrubs.

Our "Quick Suds Soap Shreds ™" are formulated to melt faster in the microwave, for those who wish to speed up the melting process.

Comparison Chart For Approximate Melting Times

The following chart shows the melting time for 3 different soap bases. We melted 1 ounce of each base, and then 4 ounces of each base, in a typical home microwave to compare melting times for each type of soap base. Results may vary since every microwave is different, and since the water content in each soap base can be different due to the amount of time each base has had for water content to evaporate from the bases.

The chart is mainly to illustrate that there are all natural quick alternatives available for making homemade soaps without using commercial bases with chemicals in their formulations.

Vegan Quick Suds Soap Shreds ™

Our quick suds vegan base is made using vegetable oils only with no lard or tallow. This base produces a fine, rich, thick and creamy lather. It is also formulated to provide "Squeeky clean" cleansing, for those who do not like the "soft and slick" feeling of mousturizing soaps. This base is perfect to use for soaps for both men and women. To make more mousturizing homemade soaps, one simply needs to add one tablespoon of their favorite oil to every 4 ounces of soap shreds.

Ingredients: Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, Coconut Oil and Sodium Hydroxide


Basic Vegan Soap Shreds

This base is made using all vegetable oils, and is also a great base for anyone on a budget. We've added a fine blend of safflower oil, canola oil and palm oil to create a very mousturizing base. This base is off white in color, so that your colorants show true once you've handmilled your soaps. This base creates a very thick and stable lather.

Ingredients: Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Coconut Oil, Safflower Oil, and Sodium Hydroxide

100% Pure And Gentle Olive Oil Castile Soap Shreds

Our Castille shreds are a true Castile base using nothing but pure olive oil as it's main ingredient. Although our Castile shreds produce a soap that is softer than most, we decided to use olive oil as it's only ingredient so that we could provide the gentlest soap shreds possible to our customers. These shreds create a mild soap that is gentle and very moisturizing, with a very creamy lather. It's so creamy that it feels as if one is bathing with a bar of solid whipped cream. This base has a very faint green tint due to the olive oil so colors may not be as vibrant in your handmilled soaps, but they will certainly be beautiful.

Ingredients: Olive Oil and Sodium Hydroxide


Exotic Butter Soap Shreds

We developed these shreds for those who love the creamy lather of cocoa butter, the skin loving goodness of shea butter and the moisturizing qualities of mango butter. This base produces a creamy and generous lather, that is stable enough to use for shampoo and shaving bars. This base does have a faint yellow tint due to the cocoa butter, but this does not interfere with most soap colorants. All colorants that we have tested have come through vibrant and true.

Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Safflower Oil, Palm Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Mango Butter, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Castor Oil
