I had a customer requesting the coffee soaps. I had made some last year. Those were done by rebatching some older soaps. This one is totally organic. Fresh brewed Snickerdoodle Coffee (which I did drink some) and the grounds from the filter to add some exfoliating to the soap. A touch of chocolate fragrance to add some more fun to this bar. I'm in love with this new recipe it's a slow ish traced one so you can work with it when doing colours. Olive, castor, coconut, I subbed the coffee for Distilled water, lye. And again use soap calc. I did olive 10 oz, Coconut 10 oz, Castor 7 oz. The rest you go to soap calc. If you want to learn you've got to do it yourself. Right? Right. I didn't use a stick blender on this one I added the lye and coffee mix to the oils and stirred with a spatula to just thourghly combine. Poured 1/2 into another bowl added tbsp titanium dioxide to lighten it up. Stirred till blended. I use water soluable TD by the way. There's a difference it doesn't clump up. Then got my moulds ready.

Poured it in looked like mocha! 
I double batched it so I got two of these. This recipe is so good it set fast over night I didn't unwrap tho for 24 hours. Came out of the moulds perfectly. I've been using plastic bags by the way to line my moulds it seems to work well adds some texture to make your soap rustic looking I think. But freezer paper is always good for that smooth look. I'm rustic so to each there own. So these turned out perfect. I didn't make them tall as I had to split between the two moulds so I cut them into two inch cubes. A good bulky coffee bar. Nice for your morning shower. Thanks for reading and looking and following me.
