Making our soap is exciting. We opted for cold saponification. But what is this saponification? In short: it is a chemical reaction between a fat and caustic soda (NaOH). This chemical reaction creates soap.

For the recipe for G&E soap # 10, we use olive oil, cocoa butter and virgin coconut oil.  All our oils and butters are certified organic.  

Once the saponification has started, after mixing the oils, butters and soda, we pour this mixture into molds. These molds are made to measure, locally, with wood such as oak, which we find in our country.  

During the next 24 hours, the mixture goes through several stages to finally become soap.

After demoulding, our soap rests for 4 weeks. During this time the water evaporates, making it firmer and ready for use.
