Have you ever wondered what those unpronounceable ingredients are in supermarket-bought soap? Well, they are basically harsh chemicals that are not ideal for our skin. Do you know that you already have the ingredients in your pantry required to make cold process soap? And if you don't then a quick stop into your supermarket will get you started!
There are different methods of making soap and the one we believe creates the best quality bar of soap is called the cold process method. Passed down through generations, the cold process soap making method creates gentle soaps that cured over four to six weeks and produce a long-lasting bar with ultimate moisturisation. This traditional soap making technique allows us to use only the best natural ingredients and essential oils to produce soap that’s even suitable for sensitive skin.
