Coffee soap

[dimitris]

The top swirl was an accident, albeit a nice one. The batter reached thick trace quicker than I expected so I used a skewer to swirl the top. I was planning a more defined swirl by the way.

There is little reaction between the coffee and the lye. The colour remains, the only downside is the smell which goes away completely after the soap cures.
I don't use any water for this, just coffee.

I made a small batch of Turkish coffee soap a few months back and it has no scent, no stale smell and is quite hard. The lather is incredible and it's one of my favourite soaps.

I've added cocoa and flavored coffee. Then a few grounds mixed in as an exfoliant. I love it, it feels massaging.
