How is soap made?

The chemistry of soap which has been made for hundreds of years is simple. A strong base and water or milk is used to change an acid (the fats and oils) in a chemical process called sponification. The sponification final product is soap and glycerin. The strong base is usually Lye (sodium hydroxide) and added to a variety of oils. Once the process is complete, all the lye is used up in the process. This is why it is important for soaps to cure or age. They become harder, milder and dryer. Our luxury soaps are cured for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the ingredients and high quality oils of our formulas.
