WHAT DOES "COLD-PROCESSED SOAP" MEAN?


Cold-processed soap making is the traditional method used to create natural soap bars. It is made by combining oils and butters with water and sodium hydroxide, which causes a chemical reaction called saponification. Cold-processed soap, in particular, allows the lye to be neutralised without any outside sources of heat, called "curing". 

After mixing sodium hydroxide (lye) with water and blending it with fatty oils, the mixture is poured into moulds and takes 24 hours to become soap (saponify). Once removed from the mould, it needs to dry for an additional 24 hours before being cut into individual bars.

Fabulous

I am a recent convert, trying to gradually swap all my products over to more environmentally-friendly ones. The Green Boutique is a wonderful outlet and really helps you stock up on the basics to begin the journey - or to continue it!
I'd never tried soap flakes previously, but absolutely love using them, although I did make the rookie error of not properly reading the instructions and putting them directly into the machine without dissolving first, on a low temp wash... But, my partner even commented on the wonderful smell of the washing - and he never notices things like that!!! I'm also gradually making lots of the other 'recipes' for around the home...

Wouldn't buy soap flakes from anyone else now.

A little of these soap flakes goes a long way. Smells great, and I've made two batches of the laundry detergent gel now and have been very pleased with the results. Better for the environment, particularly as we have a septic tank, and I like the paper packaging.

Excellent quality.

I bought a 500g bag and was pleased it came in paper packaging. There seems to be plenty - I made the laundry gel using some of it and there's loads left, so I think it will go a long way. Smells pleasantly fresh and not overpowering. Great to know it's not harming the environment or aquatic life.

Great product

I have been using these soap flakes for a couple of weeks now and have to say that I think they are great. I was a little sceptical having used soap flakes in the past that didn't dissolve in the washing machine but I needn't have worried as these work really well. Used as directed these perform brilliantly and the smell is lovely, fresh without being overpowering. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Smells lovely

I was previously using pure liquid soap for my laundry, which is OK, but doesn't smell of much. Then I saw Jo's how to make liquid laundry detergent video and I haven't looked back. 250g of the soap flakes and a few other ingredients will make up to 5 batches of the liquid detergent. It's very gentle, smells lovely and is much better for our environment.
