Cold process soap is making soap the slow, original, or traditional way by combining oil with sodium hydroxide lye. You can then blend in essential oils and colorants as required.

Melt and Pour soap is an easier way to make customized soap without handling sodium hydroxide lye, which is a caustic chemical that requires safety gear and handling. You essentially take a pre-made soap that has already been through the saponification process which you melt down. Then you can add your own scents and colorants. Next, you pour into a mold to harden and let it cure for 4-24 hours.
