How We Make Soap
We start by choosing the right ingredients and the best method for each product, then we slow cure each bar for just the right amount of time
It all starts with the right ingredients
For our soap bars we focus on minimally refined, fresh, food grade oils including Fair Trade shea butter, sustainable palm oil, Pacific coconut oil and rice bran oil. Our main focus for the soap bars is longevity once in use. There is no point in making a great looking product that doesn't last well so we include RSPO palm oil and shea butter to create a soap naturally more water resistant than other soap bars. Our secondary focus is to include as many anti-oxidants as we can for the health of your skin. For this our hero ingredient is rice bran oil. Minimally refined rice bran has a rich waxy component that is loaded with many phytonutrients useful for your skin. Pacific coconut oil contributes lather and cleansing properties to the soap bar.
We combine our base oils with a generous amount of IFRA approved fragrances and/or essential oils, and some ranges contain specialty ingredients like goat milk, mulberry silk, oats, coffee and aloe vera
The handmade cold process method
The cold process method of soap making is a small batch method. Hard fats and butters do need to be melted initially and the process itself creates some heat, but no heat is added to accelerate the saponification process. The cooler temperatures help retain the quality of the ingredients throughout the process. We combine the ingredients with an immersion blender, separate off small portions, colour, fragrance and pour into silicone lined moulds. The soap sits in this mould while it sets up, usually overnight and then it is unmoulded and cut in the next few days.
Unlike mass production our soap is never refined. All the glycerin and extra oils left over after the process is finished are retained in the final bar. This makes a soap that protects against the drying effects of cleansing. leaving you feeling dewey soft.
Curing is a balancing act
Curing soap is simply the process of letting it sit to evaporate excess moisture. This creates a harder wearing bar when in the shower. Curing can take anywhere up to 12 weeks or so depending on the humidity and temperature on the curing rack. It is done curing once the soap bar no longer loses significant moisture on a weekly basis.
While a good long cure is best for durability (the soap continues to lose some moisture long after the initial 12 weeks) the race is on to find the sweet spot - the point when enough moisture has evaporated so the soap wont dissolve at first use, but before time causes oxidation to the leftover oils in the soap bar, and the fragrance starts to fade. With wholesale we also need to account for time on the shelves before you buy it.
