Hot Process Soap

Hot Process Soap is similar to the more widely known "Cold Process Soap" except it is quicker to set up, cut, and be ready to use. This method provides more visually rustic bars and allows us to quickly provide an assortment of favorite soaps varieties while keeping high quality.

One of the bet reasons we love the hot process method of soap creation is that it allows the ability to add herbal infused "superfat oils" and essential oils/fragrances after the saponification process. This allows the natural and energetic qualities of the oils and scents to be retained more than in cold process where they have to be added before or during the saponification process. Perfect for the creation of sacred soap.

Some characteristics of Hot Process include:

• Pro - Ability to add herbal infused "superfat oils" and essential oil/fragrance after the saponification process. This allows the natural and energetic qualities of the oils and scents to be retained more than in cold process where they have to be added before or during the saponification process.
  
• Pro - It's generally considered to be a more “natural” bar of soap.
• Pro - The bars have a natural, rustic appearance and a less smooth texture than cold process.
• Pro - Can customize every ingredient, including oils and colors.
• Pro - Often made in “loaf molds” so each bar/batch is unique.
• Pro - The additional heat speeds up the saponification process. Soap can be cut within one day and takes 2 - 3 weeks to cure.
• Con - HP tends to be less “visually creative” than the cold process method due to the thick texture of hot process soap during the creation process.
