As you’ll be able to see, 1 tsp. of espresso grounds just about sunk to the underside of the cleaning soap leaving the tops of the soaps wanting like they’d no espresso grounds in them. This occurred as a result of I poured the cleaning soap into the molds at too excessive of a temperature.

• I used Vanilla Oleresin important oil within the hopes of getting a powerful vanilla scent. Regardless of how a lot I added, I by no means acquired a powerful scent. Different recipes referred to as for 3 tablespoons of vanilla extract per 1lb of soften and pour cleaning soap base. Vanilla extract is pricey and I take advantage of it every day in my espresso so I didn’t attempt it however know it’s an choice. 
• Cleaning soap molds are a person choice. I actually like silicone molds since you’ll be able to simply pop the cleaning soap out. I’m not even positive if cooking spray is important when utilizing silicone molds. I do like a extra pure look and can ultimately get one thing like THIS the place you chop the cleaning soap. You could possibly even use ice dice trays in you don’t need to purchase precise cleaning soap molds!
• Whereas I used Goat’s Milk Melt and Pour Soap, Shea Butter Melt and Pour Soap would work simply as nicely.
