Finally, a chocolate-scented soap I can truly be proud of! The key? Why adding real cocoa powder of course! I scented this soap in Chocolate Truffle, and it's totally colored with Hershey's cocoa powder (and the natural darkening due to the vanilla content.) This soap smells so much like a real Godiva chocolate (I much prefer Godiva to Hershey's, lol) that I literally want to bite into it. I wanted to really create thick, swirly peaks at the top, but I didn't whiz the soap long enough. I compensated for it by brushing the top with this irridescent mica powder to give it this fabulous golden sheen.
Now that you know what's on it, here's what's in it: Rice bran oil (rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins, especially E, and absorbs easily into the skin ), organic palm oil (a tad costlier, but very eco friendly and a natural anti-oxidant), and avocado oil (uber-moisturizing). This soap will be ready in two weeks-I just couldn't wait to share:)!

I'll have mine with a bottle of wine, thanks. har har har.
Great job! That looks fantastic and way to go with the organic palm! You know - I wonder if you could use actual melted chocolate (godiva) instead of cocoa butter in a soap recipe or like as a superfat?
That looks super yummy Patrice!! I wish my computer screen was scratch & sniff :D
Mmm...yummy! I love it Patrice!

Erin, I'm completely out of cocoa butter, or I would have used it, but I do have shea butter in it:)
How come every time I look at your soaps, they make me hungry? These look uber-delicious!
Wundervolle Creation!
