I think you should have just used some fresh coffee grounds & Some day old Grounds so the colour does bleed to give it the coffee colour instead of using the bronzing colour.
I bought some ground coffee a few months ago in prep for a coffee M&P soap as I'm really keen on the concept of selecting and experimenting with natural aditives. I haven't stocked up on M&P base yet though but I'll add your video to my listing so I can follow your instructions when I'm adequately equipt to make some. That should be in mid Jan. This soap looks finely made. The thumbnail photo is very clear. A good promo shot. You did well to dispurse the coffee grounds throughout the whole bar. I do like the speckled effect when using natural additives. Bravo Anna.
I have a kilo of organic M&P base left in my stock, a small amount of white SLS/SLSA free M&P base and a steadily increasing stock of natural additives so I have something to work with until mid Jan. I'm stuck at home with flu at present. I'm just undecided on which soap to make next but the most important thing I have learned from you is to be well organized, consistency, plan the soap first and apply the methods. Assuredly you have provided me with a really generous choice of tutorials to choose from, which I'm thankful for.
Hi there. I have started viewing your videos. Tank you for making the tutorials easy to follow. If I may make one small suggestion - turn Auto Focus off on your Camera.
How can you get that dark brown color using M&P? I love the dark color look!! Also, what does the unbrewed coffee look like when used, it seems like it would be interesting.
The Fragrance oil has some vanilla in it. That will make it a bit darker. I used the mica listed in the description for the colorant. Unbrewed coffee apparently leaves or can leave streaks. I think that is the only issue, if that is an issue at all. 🌺
Hi. I love yr channel, its really informative. I hv a question, I use melt n pour soap base which turns my soaps mushy after certain use, they sweat n also if layered, they split. Plzzzz help.
Bases can be tricky, I really only use Crafters Choice and occasionally I may try others but, CC is a pretty good base. For layers use alcohol and do not forget to score the soap with a skewer or toothpick.

Is there any way you could fix your camera's focus issue? Maybe by simply editing the videos? I like your content, but the constant focus problems make it really unpleasant to watch :(

Natasha Chillaxing Melts, Candles & Body Products yes that’s exactly what I’m going to do!
can i skip fragrance oil and use lots of coffee for a stronger smell instead?
i hope the smell does last long?
ummm i think you can because it is going to make it smell better.
Lovely my coffee soap had so much coffee on the bottom. I will have to use that little mixer to mix it up. Thanks for the helpful hint.

I used paprika first coloring my coffee m&p soap, it worked nicely.
For me, the bottom would be the top, it looks good!

Will I have to add a preservative to this soap so it won’t mold ?
They don't mold.
What brand soap base please, thx!
Heya. At 130F my soap is basically solid! How on earth does yours stay liquid please! Xx
How much more would you melt n pour if you have a loaf mold, For each of your videos?
Hi,
Could you advise the size of the silicon mould you are using

Very nice just wait to watch ur videos
Anna, how would you incorporate tamarind with the coffee?
Can I ask why you mostly use shea in you recipes. I plenty of white. Could I use instead
I just have a ton of Shea Butter melt and pour... 50 pounds of it, to be exact. But you can use which ever you link or haveon hand. 😀

You have to spray the layers with rubbing alcohol so they adhere and won’t split
Approximately how long do each soap last before it goes bad? Can it go bad if not used in time?
How do you collect the used coffee to use in the soap?
How much fragrance oil have u added in your soaps?
I usually use 5mL per pound of soap base maximum.
Great Job!! Love your videos. Please let me know how long that bar of soap will last before it molds. Thank you.
Hi, is that a microwave safe swirl jug?
Where you order that mold and what’s the size again
Nice!!
Each bar weighs about 4.5oz?
Yes, depending on how you cut them. 🌺
Amazing!! How long does it take to mold and fully harden?
Usually for a smaller mold 4 hours, larger molds can take a little longer. 🌻
@@koalasoap8435 Thank you 😊
Did you use alcohol for the mica or water?
Can i use instant coffee?
Yes, but I would dry it out first.
So is it a soap or just Shea butter ?
Shade Light seems to be soap base
Has anyone tried using an extract in soap for fragrance?
@sandfaydontplay thank you!
Recipe please
What’s the benefit of used coffee grounds to your skin?
It is a natural exfoliate. 🌺
Koala Soap thanks. I thought you can only use unbrewed coffee grounds

Hello, it has been fixed on new videos.
Big dislike for melting Shea instead of soap base
This is Shea Butter Melt and Pour Soap Base.
