Cocoa butter and coffee soap

















Many people like drinking coffee. Coffee is very good to eliminate bad smell. Grinded coffee putting in soap can help rubbing off skin cuticle. I only put very little amount of coffee powder in it this time, so the coffee smell is not quite strong. I shall put more next time if I do it again. This time I used cocoa butter, the smell of cocoa and coffee matches with each other.

I was thinking to make the soap like layers. But when I poured in at the second time with the coffee-coloured soap into mold, its weight “pressed” the first layer with light yellow soap in mold down already which turned out this very interesting look – the side has thickness but the middle is in thin layer.

One thing I need to improve is the coffee beans were not grinded small enough. The foaming of the soap is great with delicate and light bubbles. Moreover, it contains cocoa butter which is very suitable to use in winter.

Ingredients: Coconut oil, palm oil, pure olive oil, canola oil, cocoa butter.
Additives: Grinded coffee and little bit of oat powder.


相信很多人都喜歡喝咖啡用咖啡來消除異味效果卓越,將磨碎的咖啡放入肥皂裏能有助去除皮膚的角質層。今次做的這款肥皂只放了比較少的咖啡粉,所以咖啡的香味不是太強,如果下一次再做的時候,我會放多一些咖啡粉,這款肥皂用了可可脂可可豆和咖啡的香味很配襯

我本來想做分層皂,但當我把有咖啡顏色的皂液在第二次倒入模具的時候,它的重量已把在模具內第一層帶微黃色的皂液向下壓,造成這十分有趣的樣子 側面有厚度而中間是呈薄薄的一層

我覺得唯一要改善的地方是咖啡粉磨得不夠細,肥皂的泡沫十分棒,泡沫細緻輕柔,再者它包含可可脂,十分適合冬天使用。

成份:       椰子油,棕櫚油,純橄欖油,芥花籽油,可可脂.
添加物:   磨碎咖啡及少量的燕麥粉.

  1. This was quite a suprising soap.
    Lathered up quite well.
    The coffee smell was very mild, and coconut smell.
    But the courseness of the grounds was quite dramatical across softer body parts.
    But then my feet loved it!
    Coffee soap... For that fresh start to the morning.
    Can also remove baricals of battleships.
