What is Hot Process Soap?
The hot process of producing soap is due to the saponification being accelerated with the use of heat. It is very similar to cold process, as it primarily uses lye, water, nut, oil and fat butters as the main ingredient.
The mixture is brought to trace, then subjected to heat using a double boiler or a crock pot, cooking through saponification. Color and fragrances may be added in the soap, then it is placed into a mold. This method changes the soap's appearance but makes it ready to use in just a few days.
