Handmade Cold Process Soaps & Workshops in Singapore
Discover the purity of handcrafted skincare made with natural ingredients, or join our engaging workshops to learn the beautiful craft of soap making right here in Singapore.
Our Artisanal Journey
Welcome to The Soap Artisan SG, where passion meets nature to create skincare that truly nourishes. Our story began not just as a business venture, but as a personal quest for gentle, effective soap free from the synthetic chemicals often found in commercial products. Nestled in the vibrant city of Singapore, our workshop is a hub of creativity and careful craftsmanship.
We are deeply committed to the traditional cold process method, a slow but rewarding technique that preserves the beneficial properties of natural oils and creates a rich, skin-loving glycerin right in the soap bar. Every ingredient is meticulously sourced – from luxurious plant butters to pure essential oils and botanical extracts. We believe that what you put on your skin is just as important as what you put in your body.
From our humble beginnings experimenting in a home kitchen, The Soap Artisan SG has grown into a small but dedicated team united by a love for natural living and the art of soap making. Our mission is threefold: to craft exceptional, high-quality artisanal soaps; to educate our community about the benefits of natural skincare and the cold process method; and to share the joy and satisfaction of creating something beautiful and functional with your own hands through our workshops.
We pour our hearts into every batch, ensuring each bar is cured to perfection, resulting in a soap that is not only cleansing but also a delight to use, leaving your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and happy. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards healthier, more mindful skincare.

Our Method: Nurturing Soap from Scratch
We are dedicated to the time-honoured cold process method. This traditional technique allows us to create soap bars that are rich in naturally produced glycerin and retain the beneficial properties of our premium ingredients. Here's a glimpse into our process:
1. Ingredient Selection
It all begins with sourcing the finest natural oils and butters – think olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter. We combine these with botanical extracts, clays, and pure essential oils, carefully chosen for their skincare benefits and natural origin. Quality ingredients are the foundation of a quality soap.
2. Saponification
This is the magical chemical reaction! We carefully combine the oils and butters with a precise amount of lye solution. When mixed, these two components undergo saponification, transforming into soap. During this process, glycerin, a natural humectant, is created, which helps to moisturise the skin.
3. Adding Naturals
Once the mixture reaches 'trace' (a pudding-like consistency), we gently incorporate natural colourants derived from plants or clays, along with pure essential oils for their therapeutic aromas and properties. We avoid artificial fragrances and dyes, keeping our soaps as close to nature as possible.
4. Pouring & Curing
The soap batter is then carefully poured into molds and insulated to allow the saponification to complete over 24-48 hours. After unmolding and cutting into bars, the soap enters the crucial curing phase. Each bar rests on drying racks for 4-6 weeks, allowing it to harden and excess water to evaporate, resulting in a longer-lasting, milder soap.
Experience the Craft Firsthand
Dive into the fascinating world of cold process soap making with our engaging and hands-on workshops. Located conveniently at our Singapore studio, these sessions are perfect for curious beginners, craft enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a unique and rewarding activity.
Under the guidance of our skilled artisans, you'll learn the fundamentals: understanding ingredients, calculating recipes, the science behind saponification, safe handling practices, and how to add natural colours and scents. You'll get hands-on experience mixing, pouring, and moulding your own batch of cold process soap from scratch. It's a truly satisfying process from raw ingredients to finished product.
Our workshops are designed to be fun, informative, and accessible. All materials and safety equipment are provided. You'll leave not only with your beautiful handmade soaps (ready to be cut and cured at home) but also with the knowledge and confidence to potentially continue your soap making journey independently. It's a wonderful way to connect with a traditional craft and create something truly personal. Gather your friends, family, or colleagues for a memorable experience!
