Behind the Scenes: How We Make Our Winter Soap Collection ❄️🧼
Ever wondered how your favorite handmade soaps come to life? Each bar in our winter collection is carefully crafted with intention, from selecting the finest natural ingredients to adding seasonal scents and beautiful swirls. In this post, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show exactly how we create soaps that nourish your skin and delight your senses.
1. Choosing Seasonal Ingredients
The winter season calls for soaps that provide extra moisture and comforting scents. That’s why we focus on:
-
Olive and coconut oils for gentle cleansing
-
Seasonal fragrances like peppermint, cinnamon, pine, and lavender
-
Gentle exfoliation to remove dry winter skin
Each ingredient is selected not only for its skin benefits but also for the sensory experience it provides.
2. Crafting the Soap
We use the cold-process method, which allows natural oils to retain their nutrients. Here’s a peek at the process:
-
Oils and butters are carefully measured and mixed.
-
Lye is added slowly, initiating saponification (the chemical reaction that turns oils into soap).
-
Essential oils, natural colorants, and exfoliants are blended in.
-
The mixture is poured into molds and allowed to set.
This hands-on approach ensures every bar is high-quality and unique.
3. Adding Seasonal Designs & Scents
Winter soaps are all about the details:
-
Swirls of green and red for a festive feel
-
Glittery or marbled patterns inspired by snow and ice
-
Layering scents like peppermint + eucalyptus for a refreshing aroma
These finishing touches make each bar a little work of art.
4. Curing & Quality Check
After pouring, soaps need time to cure—ours go for 6-8 weeks. This allows the soap to harden, ensuring it lasts longer in use. During curing, we check each bar for consistency, texture, and scent quality. Only the best bars make it to our winter collection.
5. Packaging for Winter Gifting
Finally, our soaps are packaged with care, using eco-friendly materials. Our soaps include:
-
Compostable and biodegradable packaging for individual bars
-
Labels highlighting ingredients and scents
- Gift sets or bundles
This makes them perfect for gifting or indulging in a cozy winter routine.

Creating our winter soap collection is a labor of love. Every bar is handcrafted to nourish your skin, delight your senses, and add a touch of seasonal joy to your daily routine.
