So we decided to create a platform that stood for transparent, authentic and accessible information for all.

This idea grew into a company and Medilazar was created in 2015.

Cold process soap making is the new, or “modern” approach to soap making. It’s known as cold process because under this method, saponification takes place without the use of additional heat. Once the raw materials are emulsified and come to trace, saponification takes place “cold” after the batter is poured into a mold. Without the help of outside heat, cold process soaps require 4-6 weeks for the soap batter to completely saponify and excess water to evaporate.

As the name implies, melt and pour soap making is done by melting ready-made glycerin soap bases and then adding colors, fragrances, or botanicals before pouring this liquefied soap into molds to harden and cure. Many people like to work with melt and pour soap bases because the ingredients have already saponified, and there is no need to mix the base oils with sodium hydroxide.
Melt and pour soap projects are a great way to engage children as long as an adult provides active supervision. All soap making is art as well as science, but with melt and pour soap making the emphasis is on the art since the “science” – saponification – happened long before the soap maker decides what color or fragrance or other additive to use.
Luscious Lathers uses all of these methods to make soap, but most of our soaps are hot process. We love hot process soaps because they can be used right away, and we love the rustic look and feel of the finished bars.
