To create each bar of soap, they practice an intricate melt-and-pour soapmaking technique through a collaborative and empowering process. First, they melt high-quality ingredients such as vitamin E and coconut oil. After blending the ingredients, each soap is carefully poured into a mold. The bars of soap slowly form over a few hours and are then ready to be packaged.
