Using Cold Process Technology
Our soaps are manufactured through the cold process method, whereby ingredients are mixed and set to harden,
methodically known as saponification. Unlike the hot process where heat is introduced in the mixing process,
this process was not considered by the company because it was found to eliminate the efficacy of the various extracts that the product boasts of.
