[RalphTheMastiff]

Has anyone ever used Caffein powder in soap? If so How was it?

Yep. I cannot say it adds anything other than label appeal, since it is a washoff. I will say I used to get a coffee lotion/butter from Essentials by Catalina and you would know when you used it. It is also not real easy to dissolve. It will asorb the water and become very thick and hard if left to long after dissolving. I usually ends up with caffeine specks in the soap I use it in

So you didn't like it? Did you smell like coffee for long?

Carolyn, I remember that! It was called Caffeine Buzz Body Butter. It was supposed to be good for cellulite. And if you believe that, I've got some swamp land in Florida I'd like to sell you... LOL

Do you mean adding coffee?
Instant coffee is a brown colourant.
Espresso coffee is a brown colourant.
Ground coffee beans is an exfoliant. I like it.
There is no coffee scent at all in the soap.

Here's one of our threads that talks about it: http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=39965

Also- Soapmaking 101 has a video where they use caffeine powder (this is a different video from the one lsg posted above):

I thought rubbing sand or coffee grinds helped. I can only speak for the coffee grinds. My legs are looking more like they did when I was 28 but weight loss might have helped too.

hi~i'm curious about what's the reason to add the Caffein powder in the soap?

 

[penelopejane]

^^^^ snap!

I still don't understand why they add caffeine powder? It is white so it is not adding colour.

Yep that was it, and believe me it would give you a buzz. This is coming from a coffee and espresso drinker. Can't say it did anything else...
