Cold Process Soap Making Supplies

Soap can be made in a cold process, which makes it convenient for those who want to make it at home. It is a common method that people have been using from ancient times. Due to the absence of the external heat, it means that the soap made this way will have longer cure time. Measuring correct quantities of the soap ingredients is critical. Start with lye, the main ingredient, and add oils to it. Note that different oils will have a slight difference in cold soap making process parameters. This is also the case with different colorants.

Key Takeaways:

• Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as lye, acts as an emulsifier in cold process soap.
• The type of oil used – coconut, olive or palm – affects the soap’s hardness, cleansing and lather.
• Soap colorants, dyes, and mica pigments make cold process soap more fun.
