I'm very happy with this purchase! This, in fact, represents my very first melt and pour soap purchase. I did quite a bit of research before deciding, and I'm very satisfied with my results of the Stephenson base. I made gift soaps for Christmas and they turned out fabulous! I really like the consistency and moisturizing that comes with using a Shea butter base.
I also plan to order some BB (Bramble Berry) bases and see how I like those as well. They have a variety pack you can buy for just $20 that includes small portions of each of their bases.
The only thing I wasn't too happy about was the packaging was pretty flimsy. It just came in a ty-vek envelope and wasn't padded. The base was just in a plastic container, which kind of shredded. It was "OK" given that I was just going to melt it down anyway, but if it had gotten dirty inside the envelope (it didn't), I would not have been too happy!
Sometimes it's hard to know who you are buying from on Amazon. It may say "Stephenson" when you are buying but if you check closely, many times the seller is different. I like to click through on the seller's name and see what their rating is before buying. My purchase was through Bulk Apothecary, which is a very reputable company, so I was a bit disappointed with that. Otherwise, excellent!

NOT for whipped soaps.
The hard plastic case it came in was broken in several spots and it was VERY hard to get out. As said in another review I had to break it even more to get out. I seen a lot of questions asking of this could be used for whipped soaps so I took one for the team and bought it to see. And the answer is no, this Stephensons soap is not for making whipped soap. You need Stephensons cosmetic base, not melt and pour. This is still a really great product, dont get me wrong. I made pikachu soaps with it.
