Why Cold Process Soap is the Gold Standard for Natural Skincare

April 18, 2025

When it comes to choosing soap, most of us grab whatever smells good or looks nice on the shelf. But if you're trying to treat your skin with real care, it’s time to go deeper than the label. Enter: cold process soap—the gold standard in natural skincare.

At My Bliss Bath, we believe soap should do more than clean. It should nourish your skin, support your well-being, and create a moment of calm in your day. That’s why we use the cold process method for all of our handcrafted soaps.

Here’s what makes cold process soap so special—and why your skin will love it.


1. It Starts with High-Quality, Skin-Loving Ingredients


Cold process soap is made from scratch using natural oils, butters, and lye (which safely disappears during the curing process). This method allows us to choose every ingredient with care.

At My Bliss Bath, our soaps are made with:

  • Olive oil and coconut oil for gentle cleansing
  • Shea and cocoa butter for deep, lasting moisture
  • Aloe vera and kaolin clay for soothing, skin-friendly benefits
  • Essential oils or phthalate-free fragrances for a natural, spa-like scent

πŸ’š Every ingredient serves a purpose, and your skin feels the difference.


2. Naturally Rich in Glycerin (Your Skin’s Best Friend)


One of the most underrated benefits of cold process soap? Glycerin.

This natural humectant is created during the soap-making process and helps draw moisture into the skin. It’s incredibly hydrating—especially important for dry or sensitive skin.

Most commercial soap brands remove glycerin to sell it separately in lotions. But in cold process soap, it stays right where it belongs: in the bar.

πŸ’§ That’s why our soap leaves your skin feeling clean, soft, and never tight or dry.


3. No Harsh Additives, Detergents, or Fillers


Store-bought soaps often contain synthetic detergents, preservatives, and artificial colors. These ingredients may look and lather well, but they can strip the skin and cause irritation over time.

Cold process soap skips all of that. We don’t use:

  • Sulfates or parabens
  • Artificial dyes or harsh preservatives
  • Cheap fillers that offer no benefit to your skin

🌿 Just real, wholesome ingredients that nourish naturally.


4. Handmade with Intention, Not Machines


Cold process soap takes time. Each batch is poured, cut, and cured for 4–6 weeks by hand. This slow approach allows the soap to harden naturally and last longer in your shower.

Because it's made in small batches, each bar of My Bliss Bath soap is:

  • Unique in appearance
  • Carefully formulated for performance and skin feel
  • Infused with care, creativity, and purpose

🌈 It’s not just soap—it’s a handcrafted experience.


5. A More Sustainable, Ethical Choice


Choosing cold process soap is also a step toward more eco-conscious living. Our process creates less waste, uses biodegradable ingredients, and avoids excess packaging.

At My Bliss Bath, we are committed to:

  • Palm-free or sustainably sourced ingredients
  • Recyclable and minimal packaging
  • Responsible sourcing and ethical practices

🌍 Luxury can be both beautiful and responsible.
