The Art of Cold Process Soap: Nature’s Luxury, Handcrafted by Sauboon

At Sauboon Handcrafted Soap, we believe that what touches your skin should be as pure and nurturing as nature itself. Our passion for sustainable, plant-based skincare is what drives every bar of soap we create. Each recipe is thoughtfully formulated using the traditional cold process method—a time-honored craft that preserves the natural goodness of oils and butters while transforming them into a gentle, skin-loving cleanser.

WHAT MAKES COLD PROCESS SOAP SO SPECIAL

Cold process soapmaking is both science and art. Unlike mass-produced soaps that rely on synthetic detergents and harsh surfactants, cold process soap allows natural ingredients to shine. The process combines sodium hydroxide (lye) with pure oils and butters, triggering a chemical reaction called saponification. The result? Real soap—rich in natural glycerin that draws moisture to the skin and leaves it soft, supple, and clean.

And here’s the best part: once the soap cures, no lye remains in the final product. What’s left is a beautiful, creamy bar that’s safe, nourishing, and deeply moisturizing.

OUR PROMISE TO YOU

We take pride in our commitment to sustainability, purity, and transparency. Every Sauboon bar is:

  • Palm oil free
  • Cruelty free
  • Made without animal fats or synthetic surfactants
  • Crafted with food-grade, non-GMO, single-source oils

We never use cosmetic blends or filler ingredients—just real, high-quality oils and butters that your skin will recognize and love.

BENEFITS OF NATURAL OILS AND INGREDIENTS

Here’s a closer look at the powerhouse ingredients we use and the benefits they bring to your skin:

Micas 

Used for natural color and skin benefits—plant powders often contain antioxidants and gentle exfoliants, while micas bring vibrant, skin-safe hues.

A timeless skincare staple, olive oil gently cleanses while infusing the skin with antioxidants and vitamins. It’s incredibly conditioning and helps maintain moisture balance, leaving the skin feeling smooth and supple. In soap, it contributes to a mild, moisturizing bar perfect for sensitive or dry skin.

Pink Himalayan Salt

Hardens the bar, extends its longevity, and gently softens the skin.

Shea Butter

Rich in vitamins A and E, shea butter is a deeply nourishing moisturizer that soothes and softens even the driest skin. Its natural fatty acids help protect the skin’s barrier, promoting elasticity and a healthy glow. In soap, it adds a creamy, luxurious lather and long-lasting hydration.
