What is Melt & Pour and Cold Process soap?
The difference between cold process, hot process, and melt and pour.
Learn about these methods and then choose which is best for you.
Cold Process Curing Natural Soap
Oldest method that humans have used to make soap
Cold Process soap is the natural reaction that occurs when oils,
butters, or hard fats are mixed with a caustic solution. Very much like
the old pioneer artisan soaps like ours
Natural handcrafted soaps ,
these soap techniques have become highly refined into an art form as
the ability to fine tune the saponification process has developed.
The handmade Cold Process soap bars are
creamier and luxurious because the soapmaker takes the time to research
the ingredients, to test until the perfect bar is created it. It gives
the soap maker the freedom to make bars of soap that can reach specific
skin problems like super dry skin or oily skin.
Friday , November 1 , 2013 – Cold Process Soap
Melt and Pour
Is the easiest method. Basically, people just buy a soap making kit that
will contain a pre-made chunk of soap. They then melt the soap, add
various extras, and pour the mixture into molds. People who use this
method are not technically making soap; they are improving plain,
already existing, but rather bland soap. Although this might sound
pretty boring, it is actually rather fun for people who get creative.
Melt and Pour soap the easiest method
Traditionalists might prefer the hot
process, which is the oldest method that humans have used to make soap
like the Ancient Olive Soap from Aleppo, Syria . And people who want to
pamper themselves with extra conditioning soap might like the cold
process from
Natural Handcrafted Soap Company from The Brazilian Rainforests my Hometown :D .
