INTRODUCTION TO SOAP MAKING

Cold Process soap needs to slowly "cure" over time. 

I allow my soaps to naturally air cure for four weeks. 

During the first two weeks of curing, the saponification process is completed. 

"Saponification is the chemical reaction that occurs when fats or oils (fatty acids) come into contact with lye (a base.) Saponification literally means "soap making" from the root word, "sapo", which is Latin for soap. The by-products of the saponification reaction are glycerin and soap."

As the soap continues to cure, most of the water used in the recipe evaporates. 

The curing process insures a milder, harder, longer lasting bar, with rich lather. 

In my soaps I use only oils and NO fat , NO artificial or any other chemical ingredients.
My soap is packed with goodness only, like essential oils and vitamins that are great for your skin.
