Coffee Exfoliating Soap



coffee
Ingredients: olive oil/coconut oil/shea butter/palm oil/vanilla infused canola oil/coffee ground/vanilla fragrance oil.

Made: 23rd July 2008
De-mold: 25th July 2008
Ready to use: 1st September 2008

This soap is made from real coffee, which is great in neutralizing and absorbing strong odor. Coffee ground is added for exfoliating purposes. Suitable for all skin types, this soap will leave you with baby smooth skin.

********************************************************************************

Mixing coffee and lye was a bad idea.. it produces such an overpowering smell, which can hardly be covered by the vanilla fragrance oil.. However, the yucky smell does fade after awhile, leaving the vanilla and coffee smell behind..
The colour was a very rich dark brown, with bits of coffee ground in it.. It was reasonable hard when de-mold, so the soap maintained it's shape.. It was obvious from the photo that i can't cut very well, as the soap chipped at it's sides..
