Coffee soaps

[hlee]

I made some coffee soaps and hoping they are not too scratchy.
The coffee grounds were used so I hope that helps.
I like the way they look and doubt if I can wait very long to try one.
I could barely wait to de-mold so some got squashed a little .

Yours look so pretty! I made some today and it's ugly! Did you scent yours or add anything other than coffee grounds? This is the first time I'm trying to let my soap gel. I don't think it got hot enough for a complete gel. Too much heat escapes when I keep peeking at it!

Thank you! I used part of my cold coffee for my water and a BB Expresso fo sample mixed with Nurture Carmel and Honey. I used some honey also.
The fragrance is light but I think I like it enough.

I regularly use brewed coffee, double strength, and grounds in my mechanics bars. I like it. Is this your first time with coffee? Thanks for posting.

It is. I do not use additives often but I will be needing a gardener soap and I think these might work for that.

Your coffee soap looks great! I just made one last week and... it doesn't look this nice haha.

They look great and fit your theme perfectly! Have you looked at @earlene's mechanic's soap recipe? I think that is what many people here use/tweak. Here's her recipe in a long thread about mechanic's soap: Borax Hand Soap for Blacksmith or other dirty work
