Cold process is actually an old method for making soap. It is a traditional approach that combines fats and/or oils (of plant-based origin) with sodium hydroxide (lye). Adding lye to fats and oils triggers the saponification process. Add essential oils and colourings to this base according to preference. This initial reaction is followed by a slow hardening process which creates the finished product. After a day of hardening, you can cut the soap into the shapes and sizes you want. The lack of heat during this process ensures that the essential oils retain their unique properties, which are released in the rich, lathering finished product.

If you make your own cold process soap, the possibilities are endless! By adjusting the thickness of the soap mixture (the trace phase), you can use a number of different soap-making techniques. A thin trace can be used to create elegant swirls, for example, while a thicker trace is perfect for creating impressive imprints or textures in your soap, like the familiar ocean waves pattern. Once you have mixed the lye, oil and butters, add the remaining ingredients and blend everything with a hand blender. This ensures the ingredients mix well together without any lye bubbles that could damage the soap, or cause it to crumble. Once you slice the soap into beautiful bars and make your own packaging, you will have created a valuable, standalone product.

You know exactly what you are using with this method. You know exactly where the raw materials come from, which is better for both you and the planet. Moreover, by adding extra natural butters and oils, you make the soap especially nourishing and prevent skin from drying out. Cold process soap is healthier for the skin. The extra oils in natural soap help maintain the skin’s natural lipid layer. You can make the soap even softer by adding shea butter or more coconut oil. From a commercial standpoint, making cold process soap is potentially a lucrative option. For each bar of soap, people are willing to pay more for a handcrafted bar of soap, than for a regular bar of soap, because there is ‘a story’ behind it. Better for people and the environment!

The production of soap bars is done with a machine called an extruder. This machine allows you to achieve real production output. Machine-made soap offers many advantages. You can produce larger quantities, the raw materials are cost-effective, allowing for highly attractive profit margins on the products (up to six times the cost price), and you can create your own soap line. We have developed these machines ourselves, making them perform optimally. Register with our webshop today and you can start buying all the supplies you need right away. Click here to register.
