Snap Shot – The Cutting Process….
Our soap is made from raw ingredients, poured into molds, cut, cured and packaged.
Below is a peek on our cutting process.
Raw soap is poured into the above molds. Each mold holds approximately 7 lbs. of soap and measures 8″x9″x4″ tall. Each mold has a silicone liner which makes removal easy. Once the soap is poured it is left for 24 hrs. before unmolding. We prefer these smaller molds as it makes lifting, moving and unmolding easier!
A selection of soap slabs that have just been removed from the slab molds.
The soap slabs are then run through a log cutter which in turn creates 3 soap logs that measure 9″ long x 3″ wide x 3″ tall.
Soap logs made from the soap slabs. Each slab is cut into three logs.
Each soap log is then cut into bars using the bar cutter above. Each soap log is cut into 8 soap bars measuring 3″x3″x1″ thick.
The cut soap bars are then shelved and cured for 3-4 weeks. Once the soap is cured it is trimmed and packaged.
Our soap can be purchased in the following sizes: Soap Slab, Soap Log, Soap Bar
Because we normally cut our soap into bars we do not stock the soap slabs or logs. These are pre-order, pre-pay items and will be shipped once the 3-4 week curing process is done.
