CocoMango Foot Bar

 

 

Ingredients:

1 lb (16 ounces) goat milk melt & pour base soap

1/2 cup fresh coconut, grated and toasted

2 ounces mango butter

2 tablespoons coconut fragrance oil

 

Instructions:

First, grate the coconut into flakes. Fresh coconut is best but you

can use packaged (which is already grated). Toast the coconut in a

warm oven until it is golden brown and a little crunchy. Watch

carefully to make sure you don't burn the coconut. When it is

golden, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool. Grind it in a

grinder or food processor. Set aside.

 

Chop the melt & pour base soap into chunks and melt it over a double

boiler. Stir slowly until it is nearly melted. Remove from heat.

 

In a separate container, melt the mango butter. Pour the melted

butter over the melted soap base. Then, sprinkle the coconut on top.

(The coconut will soak up most of the melted mango butter which will

help prevent formation of a film on the underside of your bars of

soap.)

 

Add the fragrance oil last and stir it all together. It will begin

to cool and thicken. Once it is thick enough for some of the coconut

to suspend throughout the base, pour it into individual molds. I use

4.25 ounce molds. Not all of the coconut will suspend in the soap;

some of it will sink toward the bottom. This is OK because it will

work itself into the soap as it is used.

 

For molds, you can use molds designed especially for soap if you'd

like.
