Blocks of soap don't wrap well

Individual blocks of soap are poorly packaged - polyethylene film is much thinner than, say, ordinary kitchen cling film and has many holes that allow moisture and air to pass through. The plastic foil also felt wet and corroded, believed to be due to the solvent properties of fatty acid oils, making it sticky and difficult to handle, akin to a piece of chewing gum losing its grip due to overheating and dissolving in the mouth. This grade is being repackaged as not all bricks were in equally good shape. If you're lucky enough to snag a good specimen, given the variety and beautiful shape/size of the square chunky blocks, it's probably a good deal. I also bought a few pounds of Saponify goat milk base and the blocks were better packaged so your mileage may vary.

Pros
  • Saponifying soap base makes it easy to make amazing soaps, from simply shaped bars to complex layered creations. Simply cut the stone into 1-inch cubes, place in a microwave-safe container, and heat until the base is completely liquid. Add your favorite skin-friendly color and scent (optional), pour into a silicone or plastic mold and drizzle with rubbing alcohol for a smooth, bubble-free finish.
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
