Cold cream soap is a simple, natural remedy for irritated skin that needs essential moisture to be healthy. Cold cream soap is especially useful for all skin types during the cold fall and winter months when cold winds and low temperatures sap the skin's normal moisture.

The ingredients and bar soap mold used to make cold cream soap can all be found in most health-food stores or through an online specialty retailer.
