Cold processed soaps are a product of the mixing of oils (fat) and sodium hydroxide. Once mixed, the wet soap will be poured into moulds and will go through a saponification process over a few days before hardening into solid soaps.
Cold process is one of the soap making methods where the soaps are allowed to cure over a period of 4-6 weeks to allow the soaps to fully saponify and allow the water to evaporate from the bars. The longer the bar cures the milder it is and the better the bubbles will be.
Why cold processed soaps?
Cold processed soaps have been around for years and these are the soaps your grandma probably made when you were a tiny baby. Over time, shower gels and liquid washes have taken over the market with its ease of use and convenience. This, however, means that certain ingredients have been added and taken away in your shower gel to make it smell and lather up the way it does. This includes certain ingredients that may not be as suitable for those with sensitive skin.
As the search for soaps that can moisturize and soothe skin began, cold processed soaps came back into the picture for its skin-loving properties, one of which is glycerine, a natural by-product of the saponification process of oils.
Well-balanced cold processed soaps are a pleasure to shower with as it cleanses well, bubbles up to expectations, and leave your skin well-moisturized. Here at Little Tee Soaps, soaps are made to cleanse well, last longer in the shower and made solid enough to withstand drops.
How do I store my soaps?
Cold processed soaps last the longest when you allow your soaps to dry in a well-ventilated area. Keep your soaps in a well-draining soap holder or hang it up in a soap pouch.
