Illumive Soap Making Kit - Glycerin & Shea Butter Soap Base, Soap Molds, Dried Flowers, Fragrances, Dye - DIY Craft Kit for Adults & Kids

The media could not be loaded. This soap making kit is perfect for beginners. I didn’t want to mess with lye with cold process soap so I went for a melt and pour kit. This kit contains everything you need to get started! The scents are strong so a little but goes a long way. The actual soap base comes in 4 blocks: 2 shea butter and 2 glycerin. My friend and I were able to use the 2 shea butter soap base blocks for the 4 rectangular molds it came in, and the other 2 glycerin blocks in another silicone mold I had laying around the house. After using all the soap base, we still had scented oil and coloring left over, so you can buy more soap base and make more. Since we used all of the base in the kit, we both plan on giving away some of the bars as gifts and I feel like that would be a perfect gift for things like Mother’s Day!Pros:-easy to use-fun activity-comes with enough soap base where you aren’t overwhelmed with too many bars of soap- shea butter base bubbles/suds wellCons:-rose scent (1 out of the 4) was too strong in my opinion-loofah is a little rough so I can only use the loofah side of the soap on things like my feet or knees where the skin is not as sensitive-kit does not guide you on how much soap base to use to make X amount of soap bars, so we had to do it in parts and guess how it will work-the soap bar itself seems to be used up a little fast; not long lasting in the shower

I was looking for a kit for my 6 year old son, but all the ones for kids were very girly themed and I didn't want him thinking that boys couldn't be into soap making, too. This kit was perfect! It had everything he needed and the instructions were simple enough. We did the heating part but let him stir the ingredients. He enjoyed the little gift boxes in the kit so he could gift his creations to family. All we have to do is buy refills of the soap base, and things should last a long time. The price wasn't bad either!

This soap-making kit is so much fun! It’s easy to use, and the variety of molds, colors, and scents included makes it great for creative projects. The quality of the soap base is fantastic too.

Excellent to start making soaps, very good quality .

Strong smell easy to use feet instructions and quality of items

Such a fun time making soap with the grandkids! The scents and colors made each one different. Great value for the money spent. Nice gifts to give away too!

This kit was okay. I did like that the mold was generous and that the dye colors were VERY bright. I also liked that you got about 4 pounds of soap base. I will say that the bases felt a bit cheap and even though the shea butter base was good, I have found better ones.Do not EVER put botanicals in your melt and pour soap, they will go bad VERY quickly. I wish they had swapped that out for maybe another small mold, or even some additional soap base.Overall, not a bad value for starting out but there are much better bases that you can get on their own.

I gifted this to my mother as a beginner soap making kit. She loved it. It’s very easy to use. It comes with a good amount of items to get started. I highly recommend.
