Hot Chocolate Soap Recipe
Solid Soap · NaOH · 1020 g oil load · 10% superfat · 5 views · 0 saves
This hot chocolate soap recipe gets its scent from the cocoa butter and cocoa powder that is added to the recipe. You’ll make a chocolate base with a “marshmallow” or “creamy foam” white topping Mix at 38C Separate 1 cup of soap into a separate bowl. Add cocoa powder to larger batch 1 tablespoon at a time until you are happy with the color. Pour cocoa soap into mold. Slowly, using a spatula to slow the pour if necessary, pour white soap over the cocoa soap. This is easiest when the soap starts to thicken to medium or thick trace. Cover and insulate for 24 hours (do not insulate if your house is above 80 degrees). Remove from mold and cut. Allow to cure for 3-6 weeks, until hard.
