Well after almost a year of trying soaps made via a cold saponification process and switching back to the soap made with the hot saponification process I say that the soap made with the cold saponification process is the best there is.
The skin is a lot less dry, it's more elastic and for some reason I don't understand it protects against fungi.
I'm going to try and sell the hot processed soap that I have and buy cold processed soap, it's of good quality but I have too much issues with my skin nowadays.

@mangeurdenuage thanks! i currently have a plain olive oil soap which is made using the hot process, but this sounds nice. it's the only soap i use anyway, even for the head, so it's probably good to have something a bit less aggressive :)

@mangeurdenuage it's not really about the olive oil but about not having so much shit in it. Soap from the supermarket always is full of other stuff, so i got one from the net which is just soap (and a bit of green dye because people seem to expect that). i'm happy with it in general, but the cold saponification is interesting. donkeys milk sounds a bit like if made for cleopatra :D

>but about not having so much shit in it
I'm aware.
Beside that my issue is that I fucked my skin/health when young playing with chemicals often.

>donkeys milk sounds a bit like if made for cleopatra
lol. In my region I found someone who makes her own soap because she has surplus milk from her mares.
And since she's doing cold saponification I'm going to try out her product.
It's also much closer to get.

nice! donkeys are somehow very rare here, usually people just have one for fun if they already have horses (but people also are horse crazy here ;)
i heard the legend somewhere that cleopatra took baths in donkeys milk, that's just what came to mind :)
