I’ve been looking for the best whipped soap base from scratch recipes for a while and I am so excited to finally be able to share a recipe that I am very happy with. If you have been following this blog for a while you know how much I like making whipped soap DIY. I’ve also been getting lots of questions on making the base at home and a good mild recipe to use.
I usually use the foaming bath butter but today I wanted to share how to make whipped soap base from scratch. This whipped soap recipe from scratch can then be used for so many variations of whipped soap. This type of whipped soap is also known as foaming bath whip or foaming bath butter since it is made with mild surfactants instead of fats or oils and lye. Soap is defined as the alkali salt of fatty acids, however, the word soap is generally used for other cosmetics that are also skin cleansers, and that is the case for this wonderful whipped soap base recipe from scratch.

I’ve added a list of many variations of whipped soap I have created in the past to the bottom of this post. Take a look at those, there are a lot of great ideas. Also, they may give you some inspiration for other variations of your own using your favorite scents, additives, and colors.
Add the distilled water, glycerin, and Cocamidopropyl betaine to a mixing bowl and mix together using the whisk.
Add the SCI Powder, stearic acid, and tetrasodium EDTA and mix well. Then bring over to a double boiler and continue to mix until all the stearic acid is fully melted. Continue to mix for a few minutes in the double boiler. The whipped soap mix will turn a pale white.
Check with your fingers to make sure that the ingredients are fully incorporated and it is not grainy. This takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
Once the whipped soap base is no longer grainy remove it from the double boiler and allow it to cool.

Add the preservative once the whipped soap base has reached room temperature and mix well. The preservative is optional if you are making this whipped soap base for home use and plan to use it within a few weeks. Otherwise, I do recommend using a naturally derived preservative such as the one I linked above because the recipe contains water and the soap will be close to water. The preservative will prevent building mold and bacteria. The preservative I am recommending above is both paraben and formaldehyde free.
At this point, the whipped soap base from scratch is ready and can be used for a whipped soap or sugar scrub DIY. This recipe filled two 8-ounce jar containers, you can double it for a larger batch if you need to. It also keeps well for at least six months. Although it does not last that long for us because we use it a lot.
This is an easy recipe to make and the potential is great with all the possibilities to transform it using colors, scents, and wonderful additives.
The whipped soap base is used for multiple skin cleansing product variations and for making sugar and salt body scrubs. This whipped soap base recipe from scratch is great because it can take oils and butters, colors, and fragrances without impacting the quality of the lather significantly. Whipped soap can be made by adding fragrances, and essential oils and changing the colorants to this base to create very unique and super luxurious variations. When making salts and sugar scrubs the whipped soap base is also great for cleaning the skin at the same time as the sugars, salts or other additives exfoliate the skin.
Usually, butters and oils are added to the whipped soap base to create a more luxurious and impart some moisture to the skin when using. In addition to oils and butters, additives such as sugars, clays, salts, coffee, and florals can be added as exfoliants. Also, you can add fragrance and essential oils to make the bathing experience more enjoyable. Lastly, mica colorants can be added to the soap base to create lovely colors for the final product.
