Why make whipped soap?
Whipped soap is a fluffy, airy soap that has been whipped to perfection, giving it a light and creamy texture. It is often scented and can be customised with various additives, such as exfoliants or moisturisers. Whipped soap is not only a delight to use, but it also offers a gentle cleansing experience that won't strip your skin of its natural oils.
Whipped soap can be adapted to create a number of different products like sugar scrubs, bath butters, body wash or even shaving cream.
Commercial whipped soaps can be pricey and contain unnatural colours and fragrances. When making whipped soap at home, you can choose what goes in and what you want to keep out.
We use our foaming bath butter to make the whipped soap base.
