Cold process soapmaking is the act of mixing fixed oils (castor oil, coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter) with an alkali (Sodium Hydroxide or Lye). The result is a chemical process called saponification, where the composition of the oils change with the help of the lye to create a bar of soap. Once the soap mixture is created, it is poured into 5 - 10lb wooden molds, wait 24-48 hours, then cut it into bars. After cutting, the bars cure for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure all lye and water has evaporated, leaving you with a long-lasting, skin-loving soap bar.
