              The Magic of Natural Soap Making

              Picture
              Soap making is a unique marriage of science and art. Here at Emz Blendz Soap Co. we handcraft all of our soap right in our shop using a process that has been traditionally passed down through American history. The process of making soap from scratch is called the "cold process" or "kettle method." Although soap can be simply made, the chemical reaction that takes place is quite complex. It involves careful measurement and the use of a very specific formula. Traditionally, during colonial days, hardworking women made soap with rendered animal fat on the homestead. This kind of soap was functional but harsh.
              Today with special calculators, accurate scales and an array of natural vegetable and plant derived oils, we are able to produce a creamy lathering bar of soap that has a delightful aroma and also leaves your skin feeling clean and soft.

              How Do We Make Natural Soap?

              We take carefully selected vegetable oils and butters, known for their skin benefiting properties, and blend them with a mixture of potash and water. Potash is essential to the soap making process but it is not present in the final bar, as it is chemically changed. We then pour the mixture into wooden molds where it sits for twenty-four hours. During this time it is saponifying (chemically changing into soap). The soap, now the consistency of soft cheese, is hand cut and put on the curing shelf for four weeks while it hardens and mellows into a delightfully mild and creamy bar of soap. We have tailored our recipes, leaving extra oils in the final bar to create super fatted soap (soap with an extra moisturizing effect). Once you have experienced Emz Blendz handmade soap, you'll never go back to any other soap again.
