Therefore, I’m sharing a fun melt and pour coffee soap recipe with you that’s easy and safe to make.

Melt and Pour Coffee Soap Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb opaque melt & pour soap base
1/2 teaspoon food grade cocoa butter
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
1/4 Cup finely ground coffee
1 Tbsp fragrance oil blend (see recipe below)
Cocoa powder, to suit for a light creamed coffee color

Orange Mocha Dream Fragrance Oil Recipe:

1 Tbsp orange essential oil
1 1/2 tsp cappuccino or coffee fragrance oil
1/2 tsp chocolate fragrance oil

Mix and store in dark glass bottle until ready to use.

Instructions for Making Melt and Pour Coffee Soap Recipe:

Melt the glycerin soap base and cocoa butter together in a double boiler. Stir gently until melted.

Once the soap and cocoa butter mixture have completely melted, remove from heat.

Now stir in coconut oil and coffee grounds. Mix well to combine. Do your best to make sure coffee grounds are evenly dispersed.

Next, add the cocoa powder, to suit, and the orange mocha dream fragrance oil blend.

Finally, pour the melted soap into a silicone soap mold of your choice. Allow to cool.

Once your coffee soaps have cooled and fully hardened, package as desired.

To give your homemade coffee soaps as gifts, wrap them in brown recycled paper, tying the top with jute. Attach a dried orange slice to the tie as the final touch.
