Melt and Pour Soap Making Coffee Soap with Shea MP Soap

[@lauraholland5315]

Lovely my coffee soap had so much coffee on the bottom. I will have to use that little mixer to mix it up. Thanks for the helpful hint.

[@TyrelMong]

I used this recipe as a guide to make a similar soap for my first batch. I used fresh grounds from ground beans along with the coffee scent. The batch came out well. I used a course grind for the coffee beans to give the soap a grit texture. It came out pretty well. Some of the ground floated to the top. I added the grounds at 118°F for the suspension of the grounds which I got. But a good bit floated to the top. The color was nice as I used the fresh grounds to give it the desired color without adding color to it. The shea butter base has a nice lather to it.

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

I think you should have just used some fresh coffee grounds & Some day old Grounds so the colour does bleed to give it the coffee colour instead of using the bronzing colour.

[@Danib267]

Natasha Chillaxing Melts, Candles & Body Products yes that’s exactly what I’m going to do!

[@ummmjustsayin]

can i skip fragrance oil and use lots of coffee for a stronger smell instead? i hope the smell does last long?

[@omaymayasar1014]

ummm i think you can because it is going to make it smell better.

[@elizabethadonaisgems333]

I bought some ground coffee a few months ago in prep for a coffee M&P soap as I'm really keen on the concept of selecting and experimenting with natural aditives. I haven't stocked up on M&P base yet though but I'll add your video to my listing so I can follow your instructions when I'm adequately equipt to make some. That should be in mid Jan. This soap looks finely made. The thumbnail photo is very clear. A good promo shot. You did well to dispurse the coffee grounds throughout the whole bar. I do like the speckled effect when using natural additives. Bravo Anna.

[@elizabethadonaisgems333]

I have a kilo of organic M&P base left in my stock, a small amount of white SLS/SLSA free M&P base and a steadily increasing stock of natural additives so I have something to work with until mid Jan. I'm stuck at home with flu at present. I'm just undecided on which soap to make next but the most important thing I have learned from you is to be well organized, consistency, plan the soap first and apply the methods. Assuredly you have provided me with a really generous choice of tutorials to choose from, which I'm thankful for.

[@mariegriffin-nv8hn]

Can I ask why you mostly use shea in you recipes. I plenty of white. Could I use instead

[@koalasoap8435]

I just have a ton of Shea Butter melt and pour... 50 pounds of it, to be exact. But you can use which ever you link or haveon hand. 😀

[@emilysgilliard1088]

New to soap making and totally addicted. Your videos are very helpful.

[@susanbranchepoteet3175]

I used paprika first coloring my coffee m&p soap, it worked nicely.

[@SheTallica]

Hi there. I have started viewing your videos. Tank you for making the tutorials easy to follow. If I may make one small suggestion - turn Auto Focus off on your Camera.

[@tleaftreasures1353]

For me, the bottom would be the top, it looks good!

[@margheritarusso7859]

New to soap making. Love your Videos, can’t wait to make this. Looks great !

[@JenSpice]

I love the mini frother too. Nicely done Koala Soap! :)Jen

[@pcdebb]

Has anyone ever tried a flavored coffee for the fragrance, like hazelnut? I really want to try that

[@triciafeeley8767]

I used the target brand ground hazelnut coffee and it's amazing!!

[@miamor1062]

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@sharayajohnson3199]

Will I have to add a preservative to this soap so it won’t mold ?

[@sl4983]

They don't mold.

[@veezbeadz3332]

I absolutely love love love coffee everything!!! You’ve made my quarantine day a great day with such an easy to follow soap recipe. Thanks A Million

[@brandypayne8781]

So luxurious and yet so creamy too! ❤️

[@jocelynharris7348]

How much more would you melt n pour if you have a loaf mold, For each of your videos?

[@bjg4002]

What brand soap base please, thx!

[@celiapalmer6970]

How do you collect the used coffee to use in the soap?

[@rhondawiggins5728]

Have the bottom be the top it is so pretty. Love your channel❤️

[@rachnaverma1311]

Hi, Could you advise the size of the silicon mould you are using

[@omaymayasar1014]

I like it ....................

[@truevue7502]

Anna, how would you incorporate tamarind with the coffee?

[@pudletwoshoes5880]

Heya. At 130F my soap is basically solid! How on earth does yours stay liquid please! Xx

[@babyjosieable]

Hi, is that a microwave safe swirl jug?

[@nikitakohli4114]

How much fragrance oil have u added in your soaps?

[@koalasoap8435]

I usually use 5mL per pound of soap base maximum.

[@doreengayer5723]

How can you get that dark brown color using M&P? I love the dark color look!! Also, what does the unbrewed coffee look like when used, it seems like it would be interesting.

[@koalasoap8435]

The Fragrance oil has some vanilla in it. That will make it a bit darker. I used the mica listed in the description for the colorant. Unbrewed coffee apparently leaves or can leave streaks. I think that is the only issue, if that is an issue at all. 🌺

[@aparnamistrybhuta5780]

Hi. I love yr channel, its really informative. I hv a question, I use melt n pour soap base which turns my soaps mushy after certain use, they sweat n also if layered, they split. Plzzzz help.

[@koalasoap8435]

Bases can be tricky, I really only use Crafters Choice and occasionally I may try others but, CC is a pretty good base. For layers use alcohol and do not forget to score the soap with a skewer or toothpick.

[@KandyKoatedKrafts]

You have to spray the layers with rubbing alcohol so they adhere and won’t split

[@medusa4379]

Approximately how long do each soap last before it goes bad? Can it go bad if not used in time?

[@laurah-i9695]

Did you use alcohol for the mica or water?

[@cindymiller5696]

Has anyone tried using an extract in soap for fragrance?

[@cindymiller5696]

@sandfaydontplay thank you!

[@lilyh5413]

Great Job!! Love your videos. Please let me know how long that bar of soap will last before it molds. Thank you.

[@Whois_.X]

Where you order that mold and what’s the size again

[@shadelight310]

So is it a soap or just Shea butter ?

[@BefreewithZEE]

Shade Light seems to be soap base

[@helenscreativeideas7797]

Very nice just wait to watch ur videos

Can i use instant coffee?

[@koalasoap8435]

Yes, but I would dry it out first.

[@jennyxbee]

Nice!! Each bar weighs about 4.5oz?

[@koalasoap8435]

Yes, depending on how you cut them. 🌺

[@sun-kissedbeautyQueen]

Amazing!! How long does it take to mold and fully harden?

[@koalasoap8435]

Usually for a smaller mold 4 hours, larger molds can take a little longer. 🌻

What’s the benefit of used coffee grounds to your skin?

[@koalasoap8435]

It is a natural exfoliate. 🌺

Koala Soap thanks. I thought you can only use unbrewed coffee grounds

Is there any way you could fix your camera's focus issue? Maybe by simply editing the videos? I like your content, but the constant focus problems make it really unpleasant to watch :(

[@koalasoap8435]

Hello, it has been fixed on new videos.

Big dislike for melting Shea instead of soap base

[@koalasoap8435]

This is Shea Butter Melt and Pour Soap Base.
