I made this soap a couple of years ago for a fund raiser. And of course, I kept a few bars for myself. I really enjoyed this soap, and thought I'd share the recipe. I'll be restocking this very soon.
55% Avocado Oil
25% Coffee Butter
20% Monoi de Tahiti
I made this 1.2 kilo batch using the hot process method, and I added a few teaspoons of olive squalane to the soap after it had cooked. I also put in a few grams of vanilla oleo resin and some coffee essential oil to boost the scent.
I hope you'll try it and treat yourself!

I agree with Joanna! Your labels are adorable!! Lucky me! I know first hand just how yummy your soaps are!
I had to "divide and share" with some of my best girlfriends! They are head over heels! When are you opening your US store?? :)
Joanna, thank you! I used to make lots of fun labels for my soaps, but I've really cut back on packaging.
Claudia, monoi is coconut oil that's been infused with gardenias. It's lovely! Coffee butter is hydrogenated coffee essential oil. If you like the scent of roasted coffee beans, you will love coffee butter. I'm not sure where to get it in Germany, though.
Thank you, Heather! You are too kind. We are enjoying your foot treats. I'm glad you're sharing -- because I am too! My BIL has terrible circulation and loves handmade footie goodies.
oh my! the label and soap look great as do the ingredients! how luxurious!
Hey, L! It's great to see you. Hope you're doing well.
That looks so yummy, can I eat it? Hehe, does the scent of the Monoi oil come through?
I love love love Monoi de Tahiti oil. When I can find it. I can only imagine what the soap smells like with the coffee butter. Yum Yum. :)
Thanks again! The monoi scent does come through, and the coffee butter marries well with it.
