What is Cold Process Method? How Soap Manufacturing Methods Affect Skin Feel

What is Cold Process Method? Differences from Hot Process

There are two main methods of soap making: "cold process" and "hot process."

 

Cold process method involves mixing plant oils with sodium hydroxide (lye) at relatively low temperatures around 40°C, triggering a chemical reaction (saponification). This method preserves the nutritional components of plant oils and glycerin in the soap. The low-temperature processing minimizes the destruction of nutrients and retains the moisturizing components necessary for the skin.

In contrast, the hot process method involves cooking ingredients at temperatures above 80°C. While this allows for faster soap production, the high temperatures often destroy the natural nutrients in plant oils. Additionally, glycerin is frequently separated and removed, resulting in soaps with stronger cleansing power but that may strip moisture from the skin.

Why are Cold Process Organic Soaps Gentle on the Skin?

There are several reasons why cold process soaps are considered gentle on the skin:

1. Natural moisturizing components remain: The low-temperature processing preserves vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in plant oils. Additionally, the glycerin generated during saponification stays in the soap, helping to maintain skin moisture after washing.
2. Fewer additives needed: The cold process method preserves the natural properties of the ingredients, often eliminating the need for artificial fragrances or synthetic surfactants. This results in soap that causes less irritation to the skin.
3. Mild cleansing power: Cold process soap provides gentle cleansing power that removes dirt while maintaining skin moisture. It protects the skin's barrier function while cleansing, making it suitable for sensitive and dry skin.

• Adequate maturation period: Our cold process soaps undergo an appropriate maturation period. During this time, the saponification reaction completes fully, resulting in a soap with balanced pH and a gentle feel.

• No unnecessary additives: Our soaps contain no synthetic fragrances, synthetic colorants, or preservatives, made with only the minimum necessary ingredients.

How to Choose Skincare Items Suitable for Sensitive and Dry Skin

Here are some tips for choosing skincare items if you have sensitive or dry skin:

1. Check the ingredient list: Choose products with fewer potentially irritating ingredients such as synthetic surfactants, synthetic fragrances, alcohol, and preservatives.
2. Pay attention to manufacturing methods: As mentioned, cold process soaps have skin-friendly characteristics. It's important to consider the manufacturing method when choosing.
3. Perform a patch test: Before using a new skincare item, we recommend doing a patch test on an inconspicuous area like the inside of your arm to check if it suits your skin.
4. Choose fragrance-free and color-free products: Fragrances and colorants can cause skin problems. Especially for those with sensitive skin, fragrance-free and color-free products are safer options.
