Basic Cold-Processed Soap

Build beautiful, reliable bars the right way, with science, safety, and compliance baked in.

This isn’t my usual one-pager. Because CP soap has more moving parts, I’ve created a teaching-style formulation sheet packed with practical guidance so you can formulate with confidence.

What makes this sheet different

• A ton of formulating notes: trace control, water discounts, superfatting, gel phase, hard/soft oil balance, additive timing, curing & release specs, troubleshooting, and safety best practice.
• Labelling & compliance, simplified: clear, region-ready guidance for AU, NZ, USA, and EU, from address blocks and net contents to claims do/don’ts.
• Correct INCI for CP soap: how to present ingredients as reaction products (e.g., Sodium Olivate instead of Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil) after saponification, plus sample ingredient lines and colour CI listing.
• Ingredient insights: sodium lactate usage, fragrance behaviour, mica selection and disclosure, allergen notes, and stability tips.

You’ll receive

• Full base formula with step-by-step method and process temperatures
• Pro tips called out at each critical stage (emulsion, pour, insulate, cure)
• Ready-to-adapt label examples for AU/NZ/USA/EU
• Quick reference tables (claims boundaries, address rules, INCI formatting)
• Troubleshooting guide (ricing, acceleration, glycerin rivers, ash, bowing)

I invested 3 focused hours crafting this to make sure you get maximum value and clarity, ideal for beginners who want a solid start and for brand owners who need compliance-ready wording from day one.
