What Is Cold Process Soap Making?

Cold process soap making is a traditional method of producing soap by combining oils and butters with a sodium hydroxide solution. A chemical reaction called saponification transforms these ingredients into soap.

This method allows soap makers to create customised formulations by selecting different oils, butters and suitable botanical ingredients.

Important Safety Information

Sodium hydroxide is caustic and can cause serious burns. Always wear chemical-resistant gloves and protective goggles, work in a well-ventilated area, and keep children and pets away from the workspace.

Always use a verified recipe with accurately measured ingredients. Slowly add sodium hydroxide to the water, never water to sodium hydroxide. Allow freshly made soap to cure for the period specified by the recipe before use.
