<What is the cold press manufacturing method? ＞
In the cold press manufacturing method, the fat and oil components are used as they are, and sodium hydroxide (lye) is reacted to make a soap base. When the soap base is completed, it is made by pouring it into a frame and slowly hardening it in addition to beauty ingredients such as oil and extracts. Since it is made by using the fat and oil components as they are, it is an additive-free soap that contains plenty of glycerin, which is a moisturizing component that is produced during production.

Most of the soaps sold at drug stores are generally made by the neutralization method, unlike the cold press method. The neutralization method is inexpensive because it can make large quantities in a short time. In the neutralization method, the fat and oil components are separated into fatty acids and glycerin, then the fatty acids and sodium are combined. After that, various preservatives, metal blockers, antioxidants, foaming agents, pigments, fragrances, etc. are added to complete the soap.
