Cold process soap is one of the oldest forms of soap making. It is a process whereby oil(s), liquids (water, goats’ milk, etc.), and lye (sodium hydroxide) are blended together. The mixing of these compounds spark a chemical reaction known as saponification. The by-product of this chemical reaction is soap and glycerin.

NO! When lye and oil molecules combine they chemically react and change into soap and glycerin. Once this reaction occurs-saponification-then no more lye remains.

All cold process soaps need to cure for a period of 4-6 weeks. The curing period allows any residual moisture to evaporate and this is what gives the soap its hardness.

Your soaps will last longer by placing them in a soap saver or soap sack. Make sure your soap dish has good drainage capabilities. Using these simple methods will allow your soap to dry between usages and protect it longer from melting away.

The pH level of cold process soap does not allow mold or bacteria to grow.

Longevity depends on personal usages. Generally speaking cold process soaps have a shelf life 18-24 months.
