COLD PROCESSED

Cosmetic products that are produced with the cold process method have a number of important advantages. Many hair and skin care products are formulated using natural raw materials. Their cleansing properties rely upon the fatty acids that are produced as natural oils and fats breakdown. With a warm or hot process, the raw materials are heated, usually to speed up saponification, a process which compromises the integrity of the finished product. With the cold processed method, these delicate and valuable fatty acids remain intact within the recipe.

In addition to this, many flower and plant essences are very sensitive to heat and light, and may be damaged when exposed during the production process. This results in the active and beneficial elements of the natural ingredient being destroyed. The precise properties for which the ingredient was chosen are lost.

Care products made according to the cold process method retain these active beneficial elements and powerful natural effects, and often have a slightly creamier and softer character.
