Teach Soap

I assume its been covered in previous posts but here goes again
I want to add some hot process soaps because I have a lot of cold process soaps not ready to sell so I thought I would do some hot process soaps to have some to sell.
I like the hot process soap with added stearic acid it seems to make it harder I have had some really nice results with Oatmeal and Charcoal and coffee mocha .
what soaps last longer cold process or hot process , which ones are milder
what oils work best in hot press soaps ,
Thanks in advance

Getting the soap harder does not speed up the cure time. It makes no difference whether it's cold process or hot process. Curing lowers the soap's pH making the soap milder.

You seem in a hurry to sell, Debra...

Do you have your business license yet? Tax ID number? Liability insurance? All your labeling issues figured out? Display and marketing materials?

All of that stuff can help the time go by while waiting for your soap to cure.

Which bars last longest cold process or hot process
What are the pros and cons of hot vrs cold process , I know cold process you can make some really cool looking soaps

Thank you I heard THAT hot process was not as hard after curing and didn't last as long for clients ,
I reread some of the older posts and got some answers to my other questions
next week I want to try gelling one soap and one putting it in the fridge with the same soap recipe

I am putting my in the fridge now because its such a perfect stable result , but I miss the pop of colours from gelling ,
my usual way was to put them in the oven after it had been heated and then turned off.
most turned out perfect , I had two bad batches but after reading through all the older posts , I realize I had used honey in them
and thoses should of been put in the fridge ,

I am rereading all the back posts , this should take me a while

Be aware that if you put your soap in the fridge or the freezer it slows down saponification. My ungelled soaps can zap up to three days later. After that they are fine.
