Q1: What is cold process soap & what are its benefits?

Cold process is an age-old method of soap making, made by mixing oils or fats with a lye solution to create a chemical reaction called saponification. This create a solid bar of soap. Cold process soap lathers up very well naturally and do not have any synthetic foaming or cleansing agents.

Cold process handmade soap creates and retains glycerin, a natural byproduct of the saponification process, which moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Soap made this way is gentle on the skin and can be customized with various natural ingredients to target specific skin needs.

Q2: How does handmade soap differ from commercial soap?

Handmade cold process soap is crafted and handmade in small batches using natural ingredients, while commercial soaps are mass produced and often contains synthetic additives, harsh detergents, chemical preservatives and harmful Paraben, SLS and fillers. Chemicals found in commercial soap can cause irritation, dryness and skin problems with prolong use.

Q8: How long do your soap bars last? 

It depends on how you use and store them. If stored properly, 1 bar can typically last between 3 to 6 weeks. Keeping soap dry and well-drained on a soap dish or hanging it dry in a soap net bag in between usage will help it last longer.

Q9: Your soap smell and looks too beautiful to use. I want to keep them in my drawer/cupboard and not use it. How long can I leave them there?

Ha ha I do received this question occasionally from customers many times and my answer is: Although soap can make your cupboard smell great if hanged inside, but ultimately it is still a soap and not a potpourri, so do use it to care for your skin within 12 months of purchase to enjoy the full sensory experience of a premium handmade soap.

That said, for your information cold process soap is known to last for years and years if kept well. It’s cleansing properties remains intact and are not affected but soap scent do diminished over time. Sometimes the oils in soap may go rancid over time and turn soap brownish. It is still usable but do discard if it smells strange.
