The cold process method is used to make this coffee soap.
Watch the video below for the full tutorial.
Add the cooled coffee to a container, then carefully add the lye.
Stir until fully dissolved.
It will give off a burned coffee smell.
Set it aside in a cool area.
Step 2:
In a large pot, add the oils and butter.
Place the pot over medium-low heat and heat until the shea butter is fully melted.
Set aside to cool.
Pour the lye water into the pot with the oils.
Mix with your stick blender until you reach a trace.
Trace means everything is emulsified and is no longer able to separate.
Cure in the mold for 1 to 2 full days, then carefully remove it.
Slice into bars, then store in a well-ventilated space.
It needs to be cured for at least 3 weeks before it is ready to use.
