If you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin!
Inspired by that statement, I began making cold process soap for my own sensitive skin. From all natural and organic oils to fresh coconut milk and honey produced by North Texas bees, I use only the highest quality, gourmet ingredients in my soap. Even on the most sensitive of skin, you can expect powerful cleansing and conditioning accompanied by a nice bubbly lather.
All cold process soap is made using natural oils and base liquids. Each oil and liquid provides different cleansing and conditioning properties. I make all of my soap using oils known to have natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. This means Made By Jennah soap will leave you squeaky clean, without drying out your skin!

Cold Process Soap
I handcraft all Made By Jennah soap using the Cold Process (CP) method. This method combines base oils with liquids using food-grade lye as an emulsifier. To enhance the character and scent of my soap, I also use other additives including: essential oils, clays, salts, and pureed fruit & vegetables. After combining the ingredients, I pour the mixture into molds where it saponifies for 48 hours. Saponification is the chemical reaction between the fats/oils, lye, and liquids that results in soap! After saponification, I de-mold the soap, cut it into bars, and let it cure for 4-6 weeks. Curing allows the bars to harden so they will last longer. After curing, the soap is ready to enjoy.

I take time to consider specific oil combinations for each soap I make. Every oil adds unique characteristics to the final soap. Below you will find the oils I use most often along with some commonly known characteristics.
