Love the Shea!
This is my second time of buying this base from Bulk. I bought 6 lbs of this base and It's great!
This base took to color and fragrance, holding it well and strong.
It lathers quickly when wet and it is suds galore!
I live near waters and swamps so you can guarantee bug bites I had to test a piece and tried it on a mosquito bite. It soothed the itching and the reduced the swelling!
Customers love that it is free of harsh chemicals such as Parabens, SLS, Sodium Lauryl, Sulfates, and Propylene Glycol.
Packaging... My first order from Bulk was great and everything was packaged really well no damages! This order wasn't the case.All but one block had a ripped wrapper with either a small tear or a big one. I had to wrap them all again in another layer of plastic wrap to keep from sweating. I understand sometimes it happens, but i'm sure customers are happier when their products are handled with care.
Product: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Packaging: 3/5
Overall: 4/5
Overall I'm pleased with my second purchase from Bulk and will be looking forward to buying again. They are the only company I found for my MP bases with fair prices including shipping costs (Shipping varies for others.) My only advice if that the packaging is handled with better care. As a loyal customer I hope my advice is taken into consideration. -
Good product.
This si a good product. The packaging is a little difficult to get the base out of. There isn't a strong smell and working with it found to be good quality.

Love it!!
I absolutely love this base. It has a good lather, is gentle and holds scent and colorant very well. I have ordered these bases many times, but the shea is my favorite.

Stephenson Shea M&P Base
Really liked the way it melted and didn't have that 'sticky' feel that other M&P bases I've used have. Poured into small individual molds and they came out beautifully.

Great For Beginners
Having never made soap before I was nervous to try this product out. Much to my surprise it was super easy to use. It melts evenly, holds fragrance really well, and takes to molds easily. Pro tip though make sure you spray your mold with non stick spray. Since my first batch i've ordered another 30 pounds.
