Coconut Soap!

[Guest]

I made coconut oil soap and colored it with brown oxide and used creamy coconut NG FO sample. As you can see, I played around with my soap stamps.

I also got a shadow box to stage my soaps and sewed some little "Tiki God" bags to go along with the soaps when I give them as gifts.

I saw some of that coconut water in the store and thought "Hmm that may be cool to use in soap".

HA....me too!! Shocker when your mind is always on soap.

Great looking soap. I love the colours....and the stamps.

Your soap and bags look amazing!

How real are you finding the FO?

What a great idea with the bags! Was the fabric inspiration for you?
I love the white and the brown together, very coconut-y!

lol, I see that coconut milk every week when I shop I just haven't been brave enough to try it.

Thanks everyone! I did not use coconut water in the soap, I just wanted to stage it to look more tropical. Now I want to try it though, and I think for my next coconut batch I will. The creamy coconut fragrance smells kinda like suntan lotion. It doesn't smell bad, just not like a coconut (a REAL coconut) should smell. I don't know, I mean, it smells like coconut fragrance. Not at all bad. I got the stamps from Anoki on etsy and I got the fabric last weekend from JoAnnes when I was actually shopping for quilting fabric, I saw this and it screamed out at me that it wanted to be made into soap bags

Very nice! Does the coconut FO discolor?

Very nice! Does the coconut FO discolor?

Thank You Irena! Nope, I added it to the entire bar, and you can see the lighter part (the coconut flesh) is not discolored. I soaped at ~ 135 deg F. I don't know if that makes a difference. It said flash point ~ 200 deg F, but I don't know the correlation between flash point and discoloration, if any.

Very pretty soap. The first thing I thought about was an almond joy bar Love it.
