What are Traditional Soaps and Artisan Soaps? Traditional soaps, also called cold-process, are made by blending a combination of oils and sodium hydroxide (Lye) until a chemical reaction occurs. Many additional items, such as fragrances and exfoliants, can be added to compliment the oils skin loving features. Traditional soaps have a resting period to allow the ingredients to harden. Due to this unique process, traditional soaps take about 4-6 weeks to be fully cured. Along with being a distributor of Traditional soaps, we also manufacture unique Artisan soaps. Artisan soaps are glycerin based soaps which have a much shorter curing time than cold-process soaps. Glycerin soaps are ready to unmold and use within a few hours! Glycerin soaps give us the ability to be as creative as we want! We can create soaps in an endless number of shapes and scents. Artisan soaps are great for gifts and party favors.
