Are there any oderless soap bases?

[PacificSoaper]

Hi everyone,

I recently ordered a pure white soap base from Brambleberry, but it has a fairly strong odor to it that seems to be getting in the way of my fragrance blend. Does anyone know of any MP bases that are completely, or relatively odorless?

Thanks:razz:

I haven't heard of any odorless bases but supposedly WSP has a low odor base. They state in the description the odor doesn't compete with fragrance.

Maybe someone else will have more info.

Most of the "natural" bases have very little odor I've noticed over the years.

Ok, thanks. I guess I need to start looking for an all-natural MP base. I hate to ask, but can I simply make and remelt a fragrance-free CP soap, like 100% olive oil soap, and add my fragrance during the remelt, or will it damage it in some way?

I"m trying to avoid damaging the FOs, which apparently happens when I add them during the CP process.

What do you mean it's damaging it?

You can rebatch CP and add the fo then, but it's a pain in the butt & if you're hoping for the soap to be fluid-like when melting it, it won't happen.

I have several FOs that I've been using, first with CP, but the resulting scent is almost offensive. The result with MP is fine, but the scent of the base competes with my fragrance blend. I've made totally oderless CP soaps with 100% olive oil, so I guess I"m just wondering if it's possible to make a batch of 100% olive oil by CP, remelt it, and then add the fragrance at the remelt, to avoid the lye exposure.

If I can't remelt a basic CP soap, is there a way to make my own MP soap without any scent to it? Thanks for the help:-D
