What is superfatting?? 
To properly answer that, you need to understand a little bit about the soapmaking process. Saponification is is the science of turning fat or oil into soap. As it takes both fat and water to create soap, and oil and water are notoriously difficult to combine, something else is required to bind these ingredients together. That’s where sodium hydroxide, aka lye, comes into play. Lye is used in soapmaking to bind oil and water together. The chemical reaction that happens when lye is combined with liquid and fats causes the oils to break down into fatty acid chains while the lye is neutralized. That chemical reaction is the process of saponification. Superfatting is the process of using less lye (or more fat) than industry standards so that there’s some leftover oil in the soap that’s not bound to lye. This leaves behind more unsaponified fat, providing more moisture in the soap. Superfatted soap is less harsh and more moisturizing on the skin. All of our soaps are intentionally superfatted to provide you with a luxurious soaping experience.

Handcrafted soap will continue to evaporate water and lose weight over time. This makes for a finer, harder, and longer lasting bar.
