5 Benefits of Using Cold Processed Soap
Customizable and Unique: Crafting cold process soap is an art form that allows for creativity and customization. At Joa Lab, we take pride in formulating unique blends of oils, butters, and botanicals to create soaps for different skin types and preferences. Whether you prefer soothing lavender, refreshing citrus, or calming oatmeal, our diverse range ensures there's a perfect match for everyone.
No Harsh Chemicals: Unlike mass-produced soaps that may contain synthetic detergents, preservatives, and fragrances, handmade soaps typically avoid harsh chemicals. This reduces the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions, making handmade soap suitable for sensitive skin.
Longer Cure Time: Cold process soap requires a curing period of several weeks after it's made. During this time, the soap undergoes a process called saponification, where the remaining lye reacts with the oils to form soap. This curing process results in a harder, longer-lasting bar of soap that produces a rich lather and provides a luxurious bathing experience.
Environmental Benefits: Artisans may use sustainable ingredients and packaging, reducing the environmental impact associated with commercial soap production. Cold processed soaps often has a lower carbon footprint compared to mass-produced soaps. By supporting handmade soaps, you contribute to sustainability efforts and reduce environmental impact.
Overall, at Joa Lab, we blend creativity with expertise to deliver soaps that not only cleanse but also nourish and rejuvenate your skin. Each bar is carefully crafted to provide a luxurious bathing experience, making self-care a daily ritual you look forward to.
