- Gentle on the Skin
- Mild cleansing: When properly formulated and cured, cold process coconut oil soap is less harsh than commercial soaps, helping to maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
- Minimal additives: Handmade versions often avoid synthetic detergents and harsh chemicals found in commercial soaps.
- Rich in Natural Glycerin
- Cold process soap retains glycerin, a natural byproduct of saponification, which acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it hydrated.
- Deep Cleansing with Antimicrobial Properties
- Coconut oil has antimicrobial and antifungal properties, making the soap particularly beneficial for acne-prone or irritated skin.
- It’s also excellent for removing excess oil, sweat, and dirt.
- Long-Lasting Bar
- A 6-week cure time ensures:
- The soap is harder, making it last longer in use.
- Excess water has evaporated, reducing the likelihood of the soap turning mushy.
- It lathers better and feels more luxurious.
- Natural and Eco-Friendly
- Biodegradable and typically free from synthetic preservatives, parabens, or artificial fragrances.
- Often packaged plastic-free, making it a sustainable choice.
- Customizable for Sensitive Skin
- Can be formulated unscented or with gentle essential oils.
- Suitable for people with eczema, psoriasis, or sensitive skin when made with a proper super fat level (leaving some free oils for skin conditioning).
- Rich, Creamy Lather
- Coconut oil contributes to a fluffy, bubbly lather, even in hard water, which many people find pleasant and effective.
