Vanilla Espresso Cafe Latte Soap Bar

For Coffee Lovers!



This is one delicious soap bar!  Creamy vanilla and dark roasted espresso beans.   I did not skimp on the heavy cream either.  This is a wonderful, rich bar of soap.  Coffee does wonders for the skin as I found out on the internet.  You can pay hundreds of dollars at fancy spas to take a coffee bath or to have your body scrubbed down with coffee infused salts, but my little soap bar is packed in with a lot of  exfoliating coffee and cost a lot less.   

Therapuetic propertie of coffee: Information I found on the internet
  • Coffee grinds are really good for combating cellulite because the caffeine helps with circulation.
  •  Makes your skin glow because of the antioxidants in the coffee grinds
  • Caffeine could have a  UV protective effect on our skin
  • Scientists have reported that caffeine could be added to sunscreen to boost protection against the most common forms of skin cancer
  • Coffee in skin products can reduce the puckering of cellulite, and tightens skin cells, and blood vessels, resulting in a tighter, slimmer look, according to Lydia Evans, consulting dermatologist for L’Oreal Paris, quoted in Elle Canada.
  • Coffee skin products can reduce wrinkling of the skin.  How come I didn't know this 20 years ago!
I can't guarantee all these things that I found on the internet are facts, but I can tell you if you love coffee and vanilla, then this soap will make you one happy person.

It is still curing and won't be ready for another 3 to 4 weeks. Stay tuned!

Ingredients:  Saponified oils of Organic Olive oil, Organic Coconut oil, Eco-friendly palm oil, Organic Heavy Cream, Organic Goat's Milk, Dark Roast Espresso Beans (grounded),  Organic shea and Organic Cocoa Butters, Vanilla bean seeds, Vanilla powder, Vanilla fragrance oil, vitamin e

I infused the cream and goat's milk with the coffee beans and also added  a nice amount of ground  espresso coffee in the soap loaf which is great for exfoliating the skin.

Pink Grapefruit and Heavy Cream Soap Bar




This is a fresh, invigorating citrus soap. It's young, hip and darn happy!  The scent of grapefruit really holds nicely in this bar and the creaminess from the heavy cream is a delight!  I carried this last year and sold out, but it is back again for Spring and Summer.

This bar has essential oil of pink grapefruit. 
This oil is used in aromatherapy for its mood enhancer. It is uplifting!!
