Have you ever wondered what makes cold processed soap so special? Well, you're in luck because we're about to dive into the sudsy world of soap making and uncover the benefits of this quirky, handmade creation. So grab your rubber ducky and get ready to lather up!

What is Cold Processed Soap Anyway?

Cold processed soap is like the hipster of the soap world. It's made by mixing oils and lye (don't worry, it's not as dangerous as it sounds) and allowing the mixture to naturally saponify over time. This process takes a bit longer than its mass-produced counterpart, but trust us, it's worth the wait.

Why Choose Cold Processed Soap?

When it comes to soap, you want something that not only cleanses but also nourishes your skin. And that's where cold processed soap shines like a freshly polished bar. Unlike its mass-produced cousin, cold processed soap retains all the natural glycerin that forms during the saponification process. Glycerin is a humectant, which means it attracts moisture to your skin like a magnet. So say goodbye to dry, itchy skin and hello to a hydrated, happy epidermis!

Benefits Galore!

But wait, there's more! Cold processed soap is also packed with skin-loving oils and butters that are carefully chosen to provide specific benefits. Need a little extra moisture? Look for soap with shea butter or avocado oil. Want to soothe irritated skin? Reach for a bar with chamomile or lavender essential oil. The possibilities are endless!

Not only does cold processed soap nourish your skin, but it's also better for the environment. Mass-produced soap often contains synthetic ingredients and harsh chemicals that can harm aquatic life when they go down the drain. Cold processed soap, on the other hand, is made with natural ingredients and is biodegradable, making it a more eco-friendly choice.

Handmade with Love

One of the best things about cold processed soap is that it's made by hand, with love and care. Each batch is a unique work of art, with swirls, colors, and scents that will make your shower feel like a trip to a tropical paradise (minus the expensive plane ticket).

So the next time you're in need of some sudsy satisfaction, skip the mass-produced soap and give cold processed soap a try. Your skin will thank you, and you'll be supporting small businesses and artisans who pour their heart and soul into each bar. It's a win-win situation!

Now, if you'll excuse us, we're off to take a bubble bath with our favorite cold processed soap. It's time to scrub away the competition and embrace the bubbly goodness!

    Will you be making
    Solid Lotion Bars- Alaskan Fireweed? I would like at least 3, along with 6 bars of the fireweed soap. I’m up all summer.
