Foaming Bath Butter Base is quickly making a name for itself in the DIY and cosmetics world, especially among those who love crafting unique, spa-like bath treats at home. With its creamy texture and ability to whip up a rich, foamy lather, it’s a go-to choice for creating everything from body scrubs and whipped bath soaps to shave bars and ultra-moisturising body butters. 


What sets it apart is just how easy it is to personalise—add your favourite fragrances, splash in some colour, or mix in exfoliants to dream up self-care products that really feel like you. Its rise in popularity shows how more people are choosing customised, skin-loving solutions that bring professional-quality care into their daily routines.

What Is Foaming Bath Butter Base?

Foaming bath butter base is a hugely popular, soap-free, and whippable product base perfect for creating gentle face and body cleansers, including sugar scrubs, bath butters, and shave bars. This ultra-mild, pH-neutral base is creamy and gentle, making it a great choice for daily use on a range of skin types. 


You can personalise your batches by mixing in up to 5% fragrance oil* , essential oils or other cosmetic additives , letting you craft bath and skincare products tailored to your taste. Its thoughtful formula creates a rich, foamy lather while hydrating the skin, adding a touch of luxury to your everyday routines.


*Please note the max percentage of fragrance may be less than 5% depending on the IFRA info! For more guidance on IFRA regulations, check out the following blogs:

Key Properties And Unique Benefits

  • This innovative base is crafted without parabens or propylene glycol, so it’s a safe pick for anyone, including those with sensitive or delicate skin. The creamy lather both cleanses and comforts, thanks to gentle surfactants and skin-loving ingredients like glycerine and shea butter.

Why It's Become a Favourite in DIY and Cosmetic Formulations


Thanks to its natural qualities and deeply moisturising possibilities, foaming bath butter base has become a go-to for DIY enthusiasts and small cosmetic makers. You can boost its nourishing properties by adding up to 130ml of carrier oils (like grape seed or avocado) per kilogram, which is especially lovely for facial products.


With a skin-friendly pH of 5.5, it matches the natural balance of your skin, making it gentle enough for daily facial care. Its versatility encourages creative exploration—think bath soufflés, whipped soaps, exfoliating scrubs, and more, all delivering a consistently luxurious texture. This is the base you reach for when you want every bath and body creation to feel special and beautifully crafted.

How Is Foaming Bath Butter Base Made?



Crafting foaming bath butter base is a careful process designed to create that signature creamy lather and gentle, foaming texture everyone loves. It all comes down to blending the right ingredients using a method that locks in both mildness and effectiveness. 


The manufacturer behind this product is Stephenson's , whose roots in soap base creation trace back to 1856.

Products You Can Create With Foaming Bath Butter Base

Foaming bath butter base sits at the heart of countless DIY creations, turning simple self-care steps into moments of pure indulgence. With just one base, you can craft body scrubs, whipped bath soaps, shave bars, and rich body butters, using our wide range of Bath & Body safe fragrances and skin-loving ingredients. Once removed from the tub, the base will be soft and very easy to work with. Cut this piece down into roughly 2.5 cm cubes to make it easier to work with.

Body Scrubs


Making an exfoliating body scrub is quick and enjoyable with foaming bath butter base. Whip the base until it turns light and fluffy, then blend in up to 60% sugar or salt to create your desired level of exfoliation. Opt for brown sugar for a gentle buff or fine sea salt for a stronger refresh. Feel free to tweak the ingredient ratios to create a scrub that's more exfoliating or more moisturising, depending on what you prefer.


Personalise your scrub by adding up to 5% fragrance oil for a signature scent, or mix in as much as 130ml of carrier oil (per kg of base) for a hydrating boost. One of our most versatile picks is the Coconut Lime Fragrance Oil , a fresh, tropical blend that works beautifully in body butters, scrubs, and soaps. The result is a luscious scrub that polishes and softens skin. Exfoliation made easy!

Whipped Bath Soaps



Whipped bath soaps elevate your daily cleanse with a weightless, foamy texture. Using an electric whisk, whip the foaming bath butter base until it nearly doubles in size, then add a splash of colour and up to 5% fragrance oil. For extra nourishment, blend in a little carrier oil, such as sweet almond or grapeseed.


Pipe or spoon the whipped soap into jars to use with a sponge, loofah, or your hands. It creates a creamy lather that washes away smoothly, leaving your skin feeling clean, soft, and faintly scented—ideal for everyday pampering.

Shave Bars


Feel like ditching the shaving foam? Shave bars crafted from foaming bath butter base are a gentle, soothing update to traditional shaving products. Combine the base with up to 130ml of carrier oil per kg to maximise glide and comfort for your skin. Add up to 5% of your chosen fragrance or essential oil for a bespoke touch.


After giving the mixture a gentle whip, set it into bar moulds and let it firm up. These bars lather effortlessly, cushion the razor, and help prevent irritation, transforming shaving into a smooth and pleasant ritual.


In terms of storage, you have a few options. Wrap them in parchment, clingfilm or opt for a travel-friendly tin. If you’re aiming for an eco-friendly finish, consider coffee filters or a decorative belly band for a handmade touch.

Moisturising Body Butter


For a creamy, indulgent body butter, simply whip the foaming bath butter base until light and airy.


Incorporate up to 5% fragrance oil and any preferred carrier oils for softening. Additions like vitamin E or botanical extracts can provide extra skin benefits.


Your skin will feel hydrated, silky, and delicately fragranced, making this a perfect final step in any self-care routine.

Packaging and Storage Recommendations

How you store your creations matters just as much as how you make them. For body butters, bath soaps, and scrubs, wide-mouthed tubs or jars work best. They make it easy to scoop out what you need, whether you’re using your hands or a sponge, and are perfect for keeping by the bath or shower.


With the right finishing touches, your foaming bath butter products will stay fresh, easy to use, and ready to turn every routine into a treat.
