Title: New soaper from Wiltshire Post by: Chrissie2709 on April 14, 2013, 11:15:34 PM Hello fellow soapers
I've been making bath bombs and melts for a while but have only recently started making CP soap. I think I'm addicted already even though I've only made two batches so far. My first batch was peppermint and lemongrass which smells gorgeous and has a creamy lather and my other one was orange and cinnamon which lathers well but smells a lot more subtle. I would like to try coffee soap next but am struggling to source coffee EO. Any pointers would be most appreciated. Happy soaping!

Some EO suppliers stock Coffee CO2 - I'm not sure how well it holds in soap though. Title: Re: New soaper from Wiltshire Post by: Soapwitch on April 15, 2013, 09:48:35 AM hi Chrissie - happy soaping :pot:

I love lemongrass too. I like it in foods, tea and soap. Just love it. Title: Re: New soaper from Wiltshire Post by: Alphya on April 15, 2013, 06:02:15 PM Hi and welcome :)
What about brewing a really strong coffee and substituting that for some of the water in your recipe? Title: Re: New soaper from Wiltshire Post by: Suzanne on April 15, 2013, 07:39:50 PM Hello and welcome. GF have coffee EO.
Title: Re: New soaper from Wiltshire Post by: mips on April 15, 2013, 09:46:09 PM Hey Chrissie, I started out with melt & pour too, but after doing that twice it felt fake and started looking into CP. And I just made 2 batches too! Started last sunday with my first CP :P
Nice to find someone in the same phase as me :mwaha: Welcome! Title: Re: New soaper from Wiltshire Post by: Ali Daisy on April 15, 2013, 10:12:20 PM Hello and welcome ;D ;D ;D :buttrf: :buttrf: :buttrf:
