This soap features a carefully selected blend of coconut milk, coconut oil, and nourishing base oils like olive oil that work together to create a perfectly balanced bar. The coconut milk provides rich fatty acids and a creamy texture that enhances the soap’s moisturizing qualities, while coconut oil contributes to a luxurious lather and excellent cleansing properties. Castor oil is often added in small amounts to stabilize and enhance the lather. Solid oils such as cocoa butter and shea butter can be used to enhance the soap’s texture and conditioning properties. Palm oil can be used or omitted based on personal preference or ethical considerations. Essential oils are thoughtfully added to create unique fragrance profiles and provide their own gentle cosmetic benefits. Fragrance oil can also be used to create unique scent profiles. Additional natural ingredients like shea butter and botanical extracts may be included to enhance softness, hydration, and the overall richness of the soap, all aligned with our commitment to small-batch, handcrafted quality. Kaolin clay is sometimes included for its skin-softening and cleansing benefits.

Frozen coconut milk, prepared in an ice cube tray, is often used in cold process soap making to control temperature and prevent scorching. Using frozen milk cubes helps manage the heat generated when preparing the lye solution. A separate container is used for melting or mixing solid oils and coconut milk before combining with other ingredients. To create the lye solution, lye crystals are slowly poured over the frozen milk, which helps prevent scorching and ensures the lye dissolves fully. When you add coconut milk to the mixture, it is important to slowly add it to ensure even blending and to prevent overheating. During the mixing process, an immersion blender or stick blender is used to thoroughly blend the oils and lye solution until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
