      A Head Start for Makers

      The range covers three needs: soap bases and traditional soaps like African black soap and Castile; ready wash bases for body, hair, and conditioner; and gentle surfactants for custom cleansers. Personalise any of them with botanicals, colour, and scent — and whenever you add water or extracts, protect your batch with a preservative from our Antioxidants & Preservatives range. 

      Featured Products

      The two easiest ways to launch a cleansing product.

      Black Soap

      Authentic African from Ghana Traditional Soap • Customizable Base

      Handmade in Ghana from plantain ash and nourishing oils. A time-honoured, versatile soap base you can use as-is or melt and customise with your own botanicals and scents.

      Applications

      From shower gels to shampoo bars, these bases and surfactants power every kind of cleanser.

      Body Wash & Shower Gel

      Start from our Body Wash Base for instant results, or build your own from gentle surfactants like Coco Glucoside. It’s the easiest route into body wash formulation. 

      Shampoo & Conditioner

      Customise our Shampoo Base and Conditioner Base with actives, oils, and scent for a salon-quality hair care line. 

      Soap Making

      Melt and personalise a soap base or African black soap, or superfat your own bars with butters from our Plant Butters collection. 

      Facial Cleansers & Scrubs

      Whip up gentle exfoliants with our Facial Scrub Base, or blend mild foaming surfactants into creamy cleansers. 

      Customise & Finish

      Colour with our Clays & Colorants, scent with Essential Oils or Fragrance Oils, and dispense with a foaming pump from our Tools & Packaging.  

      FAQ

      A soap base is a ready-made soap you can customise without making soap from scratch. It might be a noodle base for bars, a liquid Castile or African black soap, or another pre-made foundation you simply scent, colour, and personalise.

      Surfactants are the cleansing agents that lift away oil and create foam. Plant-derived options like coco glucoside are among the mildest, and our foaming silk, oats, and collagen concentrates add gentle lather and a luxurious feel.

      Any product that contains water — or any base you dilute or add water-based extracts to — needs a broad-spectrum preservative to stay safe. Browse our Antioxidants & Preservatives collection. 

      If you'd like a plant-based body butter instead, explore our Plant Butters collection: shea, mango, and cocoa make wonderful vegan alternatives to tallow.
