CAFÉ LATTE SOAP:
 
1 tspn of powdered milk(coconut or buttermilk)
40 drops of coffee fragrance
few drops brown colour
Melt soap and carefully add powdered milk and fragrance and colour. Now follow usual steps for moulding and unmoulding.
 
 
LOOFAH SOAP:
 
2 tspns of shredded loofah
40 drops of fragrance
few drops of colour
Melt base and add the loofah fragrance and colour stir gently to avoid bubbles, try to let the soap thicken a bit before pouring so that the loofah stays suspended in the soap, if you pour it while it is too hot it will fall to the bottom of the mould, this will not make any difference to the soap but it does look better if it is suspended. Unmould and wrap or use as usual.

 PHOTO IN YOUR SOAP

What you need - a mould, some clear melt and pour soup and a small photo

 

Melt your soap and half fill the mould. Allow to cool until jelly like. If you get a lot of bubbles drag them to the edge with a stick and lift them out. Its easy to do this when as a skin forms on the surface.

 

Drop your photo face down onto the still sticky surface and gently press it down to make sure there is no air trapped under it. (Please note i've accidently placed the photo face up)

 

The finished product. My photo was a bit faded but you get the idea. The process is very simple but can be a little tricky with how set your first half is, your photo moving around or sinking and the second pour of soap re-melting the first half. So be prepared to have a few goes to get an attractive bar of soap.
