Cold Processed Soap

Cold processed soap making is the original, traditional method of making soap.

~

Cold processed soap making combines fat or oil (animal or plant based) with sodium hydroxide (or lye) which is then blended with your choice of additives.  Once these ingredients are blended together, a chemical reaction called saponification takes place (usually around 48 hours) and the previous lye is completely consumed and transformed into soap!  To ensure a safe product, cold processed soap must be cured for about 4-6 weeks.

This method gives makers full control of the ingredients within the soap, and the slower curing process assures a superior product in the end.
