== Cold Process Soap Making == === Process === In cold process soap making, the oils and lye solution are mixed together at room temperature (around 95-105Β°F or 35-40Β°C). The mixture is then poured into a mold and allowed to saponify (turn into soap) over the next 24-48 hours. The soap is then removed from the mold and cut into bars, which are left to cure for 4-6 weeks. === Advantages === Allows for intricate designs and color layering Produces a smoother, more consistent texture Retains more of the natural glycerin produced during saponification === Disadvantages === Requires a longer curing time (4-6 weeks) Lye and oils must be carefully measured and mixed to ensure proper saponification Fragrance oils and essential oils may cause the soap to seize or accelerate trace
