Cold Process (CP) Soap is a traditional method of soapmaking where natural oils and lye (sodium hydroxide) are carefully combined at controlled temperatures to create a nourishing, gentle soap bar. This process is called SAPONIFICATION.Unlike commercial soaps that often use synthetic detergents and harsh chemicals, cold process soaps are handmade with natural ingredients and cured slowly to preserve their beneficial properties.

Saponification is the natural chemical reaction that occurs when oils or fats come into contact with an alkali—usually lye (sodium hydroxide). In the cold process method, this transformation happens at room temperature, preserving the natural goodness of ingredients. When properly done, saponification results in soap and glycerin, with no lye left in the final product. At its heart, saponification is nature’s way of turning plant-based oils into a gentle, effective cleanser. The byproduct—glycerin—is a powerful humectant that helps your skin retain moisture, making cold process soaps naturally nourishing and hydrating.
