The Science Behind Cold Process Soap
Cold process soap is made by combining oils with lye, creating a chemical reaction called saponification that produces true soap. Unlike commercial detergent bars that strip skin, cold process soap retains natural glycerin—a humectant that draws moisture to your skin. The result is gentle cleansing that leaves skin soft, never tight or dry.
Premium Ingredients
Premium Plant Oils & Butters
Olive Oil – Gentle, moisturizing oil that's been used in soap-making for centuries. Creates mild, nourishing lather.
Coconut Oil – Creates rich, fluffy lather and provides gentle cleansing action.
Shea Butter – Deeply moisturizing butter that leaves skin feeling silky smooth.
Apricot Kernel Oil – Vitamin-rich lightweight oil that helps maintain skin softness.
Cocoa Butter – Rich, emollient butter that provides skin-softening benefits.
Kokum Butter – Skin-softening butter that helps create a creamy, conditioning lather.
Castor Oil – Creates stable, creamy bubbles and helps other oils penetrate skin.
Festive Characters
Rubber Duck Characters – Each bar features one of four adorable holiday characters: Frosty the Snowman (classic winter joy), Santa Duck (jolly and bright), Reindeer Friend (ready to guide your skincare sleigh), or Holiday Duck (decked out in seasonal cheer). Character selection varies based on availability—each one is equally adorable!
How to Use
Quick Routine: Wet soap and lather between hands or directly onto skin. Massage gently to create a rich, creamy foam, then rinse thoroughly. For longest-lasting use, keep soap dry between uses on a well-draining soap dish.
Pro Tip: Display your character soap as festive bathroom decoration before use—these cheerful ducks add instant holiday charm to any space! Pair with Peppermint Vanilla Soap for a complete holiday gift set or Sugar Coast for sweet-scented variety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes artisan soap different from store-bought soap?
A: True artisan soap is made through cold process saponification, which retains natural glycerin—a moisturizing compound that commercial manufacturers remove and sell separately. Our handcrafted bars cleanse gently without stripping skin, while most commercial "soaps" are actually detergent bars that can leave skin tight and dry.
Q: How long will one bar last?
A: With proper care (keeping it dry between uses on a draining soap dish), one 4-5oz bar typically lasts 3-4 weeks with daily use. Cold process soap creates a harder, longer-lasting bar than commercial alternatives.
Q: Is this soap safe for kids?
A: Absolutely! The unscented, gentle formula is perfect for children's sensitive skin. The adorable rubber duck characters make handwashing fun and encourage good hygiene habits. Always supervise young children during bath time.
Q: Can I choose which character I receive?
A: Character selection varies based on current availability. We'll send you one of our four adorable holiday characters (Santa, Snowman, Reindeer, or Holiday Duck). Each one is equally charming and makes a wonderful gift!
Q: Why is unscented soap better for sensitive skin?
A: Fragrance—whether synthetic or natural essential oils—is one of the most common causes of skin irritation and allergic reactions. Unscented formulas eliminate this risk while still providing effective cleansing and skin nourishment.
Q: Is the rubber duck removable?
A: Yes! The rubber duck character sits on top of the soap and can be removed before use. Many customers display the soap as festive decor first, then remove the duck to keep as a toy or keepsake while using the soap.
Q: What does "saponified oils" mean?
A: Saponification is the chemical process that transforms oils and lye into soap and glycerin. By the time the soap reaches you, all lye has been converted—leaving only gentle, skin-nourishing soap with natural glycerin intact.
Q: Are these available year-round?
A: No, our Holiday Character Soaps are limited edition and available only during the holiday season. Once they're gone, they're gone until next year! Order early to ensure you get your favorite characters.
Q: Can I pair this with scented soaps?
A: Absolutely! The unscented formula pairs beautifully with any of our artisan soaps. Try the Holiday Artisan Soap Bundle for a complete festive collection.
