DISTILLED WATER

The quiet workhorse of cold-process soap.

Every ingredient has a story—and a practical reason to be here.

What Is It?

Distilled water is water that has been evaporated and condensed to reduce dissolved mineral impurities.

Why We Chose It

It dissolves sodium hydroxide and helps keep the soapmaking process consistent by reducing dissolved minerals.

Fun Fact

Making distilled water is a tiny version of the Earth's water cycle: liquid evaporates, vapor cools, and pure water droplets collect again. A miniature rainstorm with laboratory manners.
