Clear Glycerin Base for Handmade Bath Products and Craft Projects
Crystal Clear 10/6/G is a ready-to-use transparent base that turns into a liquid mass for pouring into molds once melted. The 1 kg package is well suited for studio-scale production and small test batches, when a maker wants to try out a new formulation or produce a limited run of gift items without purchasing large volumes of raw material. This base belongs to the category of melt and pour soap bases, which brings together various types of bases for handmade and small-batch cosmetic manufacturing.
The main application of this raw material is producing transparent soap bars with additives, decorative cosmetic items, and gift sets. Transparency allows makers to create striking layered compositions, embed dried flowers, glitter, cosmetic pigments, and oil-filled capsules inside the soap mass. The working technique is simple: the base is cut into cubes, melted in a water bath or microwave at 60-70 degrees Celsius, avoiding boiling and air bubbles forming on the surface. Once melted, fragrance oils, colorants, essential and cosmetic oils, and plant extracts are added to the mass. Fragrance dosage typically ranges from 2 to 5 ml per 100 grams of base, while cosmetic oils are used at 3 to 7 grams per 100 grams, preserving clarity and not reducing the lathering properties of the finished bar.
Crystal Clear works well with natural and synthetic colorants, mineral pigments, titanium dioxide for creating opaque layers in multi-layer designs, as well as with vegetable oils, glycerin, and honey, which add moisturizing qualities to the finished product. For denser and more structured items, makers often combine this base with other package sizes, for example with Soap Base Crystal Clear Max 6 0.5 kg for small trial runs or with Soap Base Crystal Clear Max 6 1 kg for regular production of a specific product line. When order volumes grow and a stable raw material supply is needed for continuous production, a logical choice becomes Soap Base Crystal Clear Max 6 5 kg, which reduces the frequency of purchases and lowers the cost per unit of finished product.
The base should be stored in a dry area at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in tightly closed packaging to prevent absorption of foreign odors and moisture. When storage conditions are followed, the material retains its processing properties for a long time, which matters for workshops that stock up on raw material in advance. Finished items made from the transparent base are in demand not only for craft soap making but also as a base for decorative elements, gift souvenir products, and educational craft kits.
Citrus swirl clear bar
Crystal Clear 10/6/G 300 grams
Orange essential oil 10 ml
Orange colorant liquid 5 drops
Sweet almond oil 8 grams
Dried calendula petals 2 grams
Cut
the base into small cubes and melt in a water bath at a controlled temperature
not exceeding 70 degrees Celsius, stirring gently until fully liquid. Remove
from heat and mix in the sweet almond oil and orange essential oil until evenly
combined. Pour a small portion of the mixture into a separate cup and add the
orange colorant, stirring lightly. Pour the uncolored mass into the mold first,
then add the colored portion in a thin stream while swirling with a wooden
skewer to create a marbled pattern. Sprinkle dried calendula petals on top
before the surface fully sets, then leave the mold at room temperature for
several hours until completely hardened.
