Please note:
Cold process soaps require a minimum 6-week curing period before they are ready for use.
Whether you prefer a hands-on approach or would like our assistance, please keep in mind that soap cutting and stamping can only be done 2-7 days after they're made. You're welcome to cure your soaps at home or in the studio following the cutting process. Soaps can then be picked up via self-collection or delivery, which we offer to local addresses at a nominal $5 fee. Kindly be aware that any uncollected soap will be donated after 3 months.
