Hot process soaps are not featured nearly as much as cold processed soaps. They are the underdogs I suppose...the modest soaps that need a bit of exposure. Here are some beautiful soaps that should be exposed to the rest of the world. Here, world. Enjoy these beauts!

Youth Hot Process Soap Ala Anhoki

I choose to make cold process soap more often than hot process soap because I have more control with the outcome... designing it. I am very impressed with these soapmakers, I have to say. When I make hot process batches, they come out fine, but the tops looks vomitous. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever made hot process soap.

I chose these soaps to feature because they are works of art. Thank you.

They are hot!

The Dirty Business Bath Co. said...: I used to only do hot process soaps. No I've moved completely in the opposite direction I only hot process volatile fragrances. I have to go make some soap now. This post has given me the urge!; April 5, 2009 at 6:08 PM

Amy W said...: I agree that it seems easier to control the outcome of a cold processed soap. I usually end up with holes & messes when I hot process. :); April 7, 2009 at 10:37 AM
