Hot saponified liquid soap vs. Cold saponified solid soap
An essential product for everyday use, whether it's for washing, washing the dishes or cleaning a stain on your clothes covered in tomato sauce... it's obviously a question of soap! A term that speaks to you, a product that you have used since your childhood. However, when it comes to choosing your soap, you often have difficulty detecting THE miracle product.
Among the multitude of soaps on the cosmetics market, there are all kinds and for all tastes.
Therefore, what first criterion should you take into account when making your choice? The answer is simple: its condition! Between liquid and solid, soap has many differences and goes so far as to impact its effectiveness… yes, yes, you read correctly! Besides, we're going to prove it to you just below, so stay with us until the end.
Hot saponified liquid soap
A variant of cold saponified solid soap, hot saponified liquid soap is generally found in the manufacturing process of industrial soaps.
The main reason ?
Possibility of producing on a larger scale. This point is very important when you are a soap production company. On the other hand, on the consumer side, that is you, it is a completely different question that must be asked....
What about its benefits?
Perhaps more aesthetic in the shower... but that doesn't make it a benefit!
Unlike cold saponification, heating the ingredients will reduce their properties and thus, the benefits that you will be able to obtain from your hot saponified liquid soap will be less.
Furthermore, who says “liquid soap” often says “industrial soap” and thus, chemical ingredients (such as: sulfates, preservatives, parabens, etc.); irritating components that are not recommended and for which your skin will not be able to thank you.
On the ecology side, unless you buy a glass bottle with eco-refills, most soaps in liquid form are kept in plastic cases... nothing could be worse for the planet! Also, liquid soaps tend to empty much faster than their solid neighbors. So you will understand, it is not ideal for your wallet either.
Cold saponified solid soap
Much more beneficial than hot saponified soap, cold saponified soap is a must-have that you should favor in your choice of soap.
For what ?
When it comes to cold saponification, there are many positive points. First, this allows the properties of the oils, butters and essential oils contained in the soap to be further preserved. Beyond maintaining the properties of the ingredients contained in the soap as much as possible, this method is suitable for all skin types. Whether normal, dry, oily or even sensitive, cold saponified soap is a real chameleon that will adapt to the skin problems of the whole family!
Produced naturally, this makes it a mild surfactant (washing agent); perfect for even the most sensitive skin. By depositing a “greasy film effect” layer on the skin, the solid soap protects the skin’s hydrolipidic film against external aggressions. As a bonus, you can use it as a facial cleanser, morning and evening, without stripping your skin. In addition and because it is a chameleon, it will also satisfy dry skin. Indeed, this type of soap naturally contains glycerin; a moisturizing, softening and protective active ingredient for the skin, to restore comfort and avoid tightness.
But that's not all ! Beyond being a little cosmetic gem, cold saponified solid soap has a lower environmental impact than hot saponified liquid soap. Isn't that wonderful? Without packaging or simply covered with cardboard or biodegradable paper, cold saponified soap does not distort your environment. Finally, no more excess waste at home!
