"CocoA Nut Soap Making Tutorial"

How to make 100% Coconut Soap with Cocoa Butter

 

Here's a tutorial using 100% Virgin Coconut Oil for those who prefer simple recipe. I know, I know, in all my workshops I always tell my students that using more than 30% of Coconut Oil in soap making will create a soap that is drying to the skin.

 

But, hang on... in this soap recipe, I actually superfat high to balance the drying effect of coconut oil. I used 25% Super Fat in the recipe, which means discounting its lye for 25%. Then, I added extra superfat at the end where I made use of Organic Unrefined CocoA Butter. This CocoA Butter absolutely remains in the soap unprocessed by lye, leaving our skin moisturized.
