Chocolate Soap with Cocoa Butter and Cocoa Powder

Описание: How to make soap with cocoa butter.

In this video I show you how I make cold process soap with cocoa butter, cocoa powder and chocolate fragrance oil.

In cold process soap making, it is generally advised not to use more than 15% cocoa butter of the total oils in a soap recipe. Using more cocoa butter might make the soap brittle and make it crack. Using 15% cocoa butter in a soap recipe will help add firmness to the soap bars and give them moisturizing properties.

I used natural cocoa powder for this soap and without the discoloring fragrance oil the soap would have had a very light brown color. After I made this soap I read that dutch processed cocoa powder would give the soap a darker color.

Recipe:

40% olive oil
30% coconut oil
15% cocoa butter
10% sweet almond oil
5% castor oil

Water:lye ratio 1.8:1

1.5 tsp cocoa powder
4% discoloring chocolate fragrance oil
