Make Your Own Natural Hair Soap (Cold Process Shampoo Bar)
Ditch the harsh chemicals and embrace handmade, eco-friendly hair care with our Cold Process Hair Soap Workshop! Learn to craft a luxurious shampoo bar that gently cleanses while nourishing your hair with natural oils and botanicals.
Why Cold Process Shampoo Bar Soap? Cold process soap shampoo bars offer a range of benefits compared to conventional liquid shampoos. Here are some key advantages:
  • Natural Ingredients: Cold process shampoo bars typically use natural oils, butters, and essential oils, which nourish the scalp and hair without the harsh chemicals (like sulfates and parabens) often found in commercial shampoos.
  • Moisturizing: Oils like coconut, olive, and castor oil, commonly used in cold process soap, are rich in fatty acids that deeply moisturize both hair and scalp. This helps reduce dryness, breakage, and frizz.
  • Eco-Friendly: Shampoo bars are a more sustainable option, as they are usually packaged with little to no plastic. Additionally, the ingredients are biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
  • Gentle and Non-Stripping: Unlike liquid shampoos that can strip hair of its natural oils, cold process bars cleanse without overly drying, making them great for maintaining a balanced scalp.
  • Long-Lasting: Shampoo bars are highly concentrated, meaning they last longer than liquid shampoos. A little goes a long way, providing good value over time.
  • Promotes Healthy Scalp: Essential oils and other natural additives like tea tree oil, rosemary, or lavender can soothe the scalp, reduce dandruff, and promote hair growth by improving circulation.
  • Less Buildup: Cold process shampoo bars don't contain synthetic silicones or other ingredients that can lead to buildup over time, leaving hair feeling lighter and more manageable.
** Please note that Cold Process Soap takes at least 4 weeks to cure, so please plan ahead for your needs.

Hi, I am Jenny Ho, I am the soap master and the business owner of Jade Soap Shop.
Soap making has been my hobby and habit for years. I use natural ingredients only to make the soap. The soap I handcrafted not only helped to soothe my sensitive skin but also improved the skin condition of my husband's body and back.
Each batch of soap I make is uniquely made in a small batch with natural ingredients, including natural colorants and essential oils.. My soap is natural, earthy, and also "colorful and fun".
More and more demands from friends and family made me think about starting my own soapy business besides managing my busy Mandarin classroom. So I started selling in 2014 in some retail stores and markets in Tampa bay.
I started providing hands-on soap workshops and started sharing my soap making knowledge and experiences since then. I also helped my students who would like to start their own soap making businesses in Lutz, FL in 2017. From the Year 2021, I moved & expanded my soap kitchen, retail shop and classroom to Dunedin.
My goal is not just to promote my soaps, but also the healthy, clean, and sustainable lifestyle that would help us human beings and the earth.
Thank you for stopping by, and hope you can join us for the soap-making fun!
