How We Make Our Cold Pressed Soaps

How We Make Our Cold Pressed Soaps

In this blog post, we'll take you on a journey through the meticulous process of crafting our natural soaps, ensuring that every bar is a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the power of wholesome ingredients.

The Essence of Cold Pressed Soaps: At Natty Soaps, we pride ourselves on using the cold process method to create our artisanal soaps. This age-old technique involves combining natural oils and butters with an alkaline solution, resulting in a slow and gentle saponification process. Unlike industrial soap-making methods, cold pressing retains the soap's natural glycerin, preserving its moisturizing properties for a truly nourishing bathing experience.

Selecting the Finest Ingredients: Our commitment to quality begins with the careful selection of ingredients. Natty Soaps are made with a blend of premium oils and butters, such as olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and more. These ingredients are chosen not only for their skin-loving properties but also for their sustainability and eco-friendly impact.

The Cold Press Process Unveiled:

  1. Weighing and Mixing: Precise measurements of oils, butters, and an alkaline solution are crucial to achieving the perfect soap formula. At Natty Soaps, we carefully weigh and mix these components to ensure a harmonious blend.

  2. Saponification: The magic begins as the oils and alkaline solution undergo saponification, transforming into soap and glycerin. The slow and controlled process allows us to maintain the integrity of the ingredients, resulting in a soap that retains its natural benefits.

  3. Adding Essential Oils and Botanicals: To enhance the sensory experience, we incorporate therapeutic-grade essential oils and botanicals. This step not only imparts delightful scents but also contributes additional skin-loving properties.

  4. Molding and Curing: The soap mixture is poured into molds, where it takes shape before entering the curing phase. During this time, the soap hardens and excess moisture evaporates, ensuring a longer-lasting bar.

  5. Cutting and Packaging: Once cured, each soap loaf is carefully cut into individual bars, showcasing the unique patterns and textures created during the process. The final touch involves eco-friendly packaging, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.

Benefits of Natty Soaps:

  1. Gentle on the Skin: The cold process method preserves the natural glycerin, offering a mild and moisturizing lather suitable for all skin types.

  2. Natural Fragrances: Our soaps are scented with pure essential oils, providing an aromatherapeutic experience with every use.

  3. Eco-Friendly: From ingredient sourcing to packaging, Natty Soaps prioritizes sustainability to minimize our environmental footprint.

Conclusion: Natty Soaps invites you to indulge in the simplicity of nature and the luxury of pure ingredients. Our cold pressed soaps are a celebration of the art and science behind creating a product that not only cleanses but nourishes the skin, leaving you refreshed and revitalized after every wash. Embrace the purity of Natty Soaps and let nature's finest ingredients transform your daily skincare routine.
