I LOVE the Foaming Bath Butter Base! The ingredients are clean and this lathers really well!
I’ve bought this from at least 4 other places and MWFC has the most consistent consistency. I don’t know what changes from point A to point B but I’m grateful for the outcome. Thank you!
Super fast shipping!! Thank you!!
All I can say is, it's the best!
My go to for whipped soaps.
Thank you for carrying this.
This is the best version of this base that I have ever used. MWFC is one of the best fragrance/suppliers I’ve ever bought from. Genuinely. Their customer service is outstanding, their products are amazing, and the experience overall is something to rave about.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product for my whipped soaps and Foaming scrubs
I’ve made soap base from scratch, and from Stephenson’s and another brand. This one is the best! It’s so easy to use to make foaming soap and sugar scrubs. Love it!
My 7 year old daughter loves to help me make soap, and this is perfect for her! She picks the scents and colors and we work together!
Doesn't dry her skin out and she loves it!
This is a wonderful base that whips up beautifully. I've had great luck with it using my Kitchenaid mixer to make whipped soap and sugar scrubs. However, I do NOT recommend the "shaving fluff" recipe that Stephenson provides in the inspirational recipe booklet. It seemed great - I followed the recipe and piped it into twelve 4-oz jars with lids. I made the full batch as I've never had a problem with this base before. Tested it out, shaved my legs - lovely! The next day, they're all hard - so hard that I can't even scoop the product out of the jars to try to salvage it. I've never had this happen with this base. Such a bummer and an expensive fail. womp womp. I don't know if it's a matter of too much kaolin clay, or if the temperature here is too cold for it to remain soft (it's 72F in my house and chilly outside). It might make a good shaving bar in a silicone mold (which is what I'm going to try to repurpose it as if I can chisel it out of the jars) but definitely not scoopable and definitely not "fluff."
Fragrances were beautiful!! All of them!
This product is AMAZING!! I use it to create whipped sugar scrubs and each batch comes out incredible!! Will be a customer for life!
I have been using Stephenson’s foaming bath butter for over a year and love it! It is so easy to work with and you can add your own touch to it. A great product that holds up well. I am so happy y’all carry it now!!
I was making my base from scratch for my foaming sugar scrub but this is a game changer. I work a full time job and operate my small business so I needed an option to make formulating easier. This base is just what I needed and more. Very easy to use, it very soft , smooth and fluffy. Gives my sugar scrubs more body. Feels good and I have to say it’s the best price I’ve come across😊
Thank you so much for added this base. It is so easy to work with and the outcome is perfect. It’s the new obsession for my customers.
Smooth, fluffy , and easy to use
Loved it, created delicious soap for my customers

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully. Need more tips? Check out our resources—we love helping makers like you!
The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
