Succulent Coffee Soap

This uses coffee infused oil, which has a wonderful scent. It is optional, but it makes it more moisturizing. I also added coffee essential oil and copaiba essential oil. Copaiba has a warm scent, so it complements the coffee scent well.

To make the soap succulents, you'll need:

• 2 ounces white melt and pour soap
• 2 drops coffee essential oil
• 2 drops copaiba essential oil
• Green, white, and purple mica

For the coffee soap, you'll need:

• 1 pound clear melt and pour soap
• 1 teaspoon dried coffee grounds
• 1 teaspoon coffee infused oil
• 25 drops coffee essential oil
• 25 drops copaiba essential oil

Supplies

• Wilton succulent mold
• Round mold
• Pyrex measuring cup
• Digital scale

We will start with the succulent soaps. I wanted my succulents to look real and have depth, so I sprinkled green, purple, and white mica inside the mold. I then blew off the excess into the trashcan.

Then I melted the soap in the microwave for 20 seconds. If it's not melted, stir it and microwave for 10 seconds if needed. Add green mica and essential oils. Stir well and pour into succulent mold. Let cool completely.

Net, I cut the pound of clear soap into 1 inch cubes. Microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Add the coffee grounds, coffee infused oil, and essential oils. Stir well.

Next, pour the coffee soap into the molds until they are about 90 percent full. Spray with rubbing alcohol and let cool. You will have soap left.

Remelt the rest of your soap. Score the the coffee soaps with a knife. Pour the rest of the soap evenly between the cavities. Gently place a succulent on top and push down slightly so the succulent is inside the melted soap. Spray with rubbing alcohol. Let cool completely.

This is an exfoliating bar, so you can use it for your feet or body. It's good to use before shaving legs for a smoother shave. They also make a good kitchen soap since the coffee removes odors naturally.
