Make your own solid and liquid soaps at home

Make your own homemade soaps

Making natural soap at home allows you to combine many benefits in each product. Soaps are made by mixing vegetable oils and butters with an alkali such as caustic soda. Essential oils bring unique properties to soaps, although scented oils are also very effective.

For the record...

Soaps are the oldest known surfactants, produced by the reaction of an alkali on a fatty substance. Their history goes back more than 5,000 years, although the first synthetic surfactant appeared in 1916.

Soap bases

Of plant origin, our soap bases benefit from a range of high quality Melt and Pour products!

Solid base

Simple to use, the solid base allows for great customization to color and perfume your soaps with scented oils or active ingredients. Melt your base, add a scented oil, colorants or active ingredients, then pour everything into molds provided for this purpose. You will obtain soft and moisturizing soaps, perfect for daily use.

Liquid base

The liquid base is composed of saponified oils and remains soft, without hardening. Hot saponification allows you to obtain the desired result, although certain fragrances can change the appearance of your soaps.

The saponification of soaps

Saponification is a chemical reaction between a fatty substance (vegetable or animal butter) and an alkali or strong base. Soda is used for solid soaps, while potash is used for liquid soaps.

Cold saponification

Eco-friendly and requiring little energy, cold saponification does not pollute and produces naturally moisturizing soaps. This technique consists of mixing the fatty substances and the base at room temperature. After mixing and placing in the mold, you have to wait 48 hours for the oils to transform into soap and glycerin. The soaps obtained are gentle and suitable for all skin types.

Hot saponification

An ancestral method used to make Marseille or Aleppo soaps, hot saponification consists of cooking the soap paste at a high temperature to accelerate saponification. This technique makes it possible to obtain a hard soap with a short drying phase, while preserving the moisturizing properties of the added ingredients.
