At March\u00e9 du Plateau, we’re proud to make our soaps using the traditional cold-saponification<\/strong> method. Ce proc\u00e9d\u00e9 artisanal<\/strong>, qui pr\u00e9serve les bienfaits des ingr\u00e9dients naturels utilis\u00e9s, n\u00e9cessite seulement deux composants<\/strong> principaux : des huiles<\/strong> ou des beurres<\/strong> qui forment la base grasse du savon, et de la soude<\/strong>, ou hydroxyde de sodium, qui agit comme un agent alcalin.<\/p>\n

When these two elements are mixed in the right proportions, a chemical reaction<\/strong> occurs, transforming the oils and soda into a new product: soap<\/strong>. This fascinating transformation process highlights the harmony between science and nature, and is at the heart of our organic and natural soap production philosophy.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of cold saponification is that it preserves the beneficial properties of the oils used, unlike the hot saponification method which can degrade certain nutrients. As a result, our soaps retain all the vitamin and antioxidant richness of the organic lavender oils we use, providing your skin with gentle, natural care.<\/p>\n

Discover the craftsmanship and authenticity of our products by choosing our cold-saponified soaps<\/strong><\/a>a real guarantee of quality and respect for the environment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At March\u00e9 du Plateau, we celebrate the art of cold saponification<\/strong>, a process that transforms fats – vegetable oils and butters – into soap through a delicate chemical reaction. This alchemical journey takes place at low temperatures, generally below 30\u00b0C, to preserve the beneficial properties of the ingredients used.<\/p>\n

At the heart of this transformation lies the“trace<\/strong>” stage, a crucial moment when the mixture acquires the texture of a soap paste of varying thickness. For the artisan soap-maker, this stage is fundamental, as it enables him to monitor the consistency of the soap and ensure its optimum quality.<\/p>\n

This is also when we add the other natural ingredients that make our cold-saponified soaps so rich. Essential oils for their aromatic and therapeutic properties, mineral or plant colorants for a touch of natural color, plant powders for their benefits to the skin, and even honey for its moisturizing and soothing virtues.<\/p>\n

Once the soap paste has reached the desired consistency, it is carefully poured into a mold, then placed in a cool place to harden, usually for 24 to 48 hours. This is followed by the“cure<\/strong>“, a period of rest in a dry, airy place for at least 4 weeks. Curing is an essential phase that finalizes saponification, resulting in a soap that is gentler, longer-lasting and more respectful of your skin.<\/p>\n

Explore the authenticity and expertise of our cold-saponification process and be seduced by the exceptional quality of our of our natural and organic soaps<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
