How is the cold process method different than milled soap?
In the cold process method the oils and lye are combined at 100 F or less. This is important because the low temperature keeps the beneficial properties of our high quality botanical ingredients intact. Triple milled soaps are often processed at much higher tempuratures which can degrade high quality oils. This process is favored by larger soap factories because it is a faster process with less curing time and allows for use of lower quality ingredients and animal fats.
