Ingredients
All of the soap at Made By Jennah is made using the Cold Process method. This method combines Base Oils with Liquids using lye as an emulsifier. Next, the soap is cut and left to cure for 4-6 weeks. After curing, soap is ready to use
Making Cold Process (CP) Soap is requires a few components:
- Base Oils
- Liquid
- Essential Oils (for scent)
- Other Additives (like exfoliators)
Base Oils
I take time to consider specific oil combinations for each soap I make. Every oil adds unique characteristics to the final soap. Below you will find the oils I use most often along with some commonly known characteristics.
