I made a soap scrub bar using melt & pour soap, coconut oil, a titch of BTMS, and coffee grounds. Regular ole coffee that I would use in my automatic drip coffee maker. The bar turned out perfectly. But SO aggressive on the scrubbiness. As in, could scour the hide off a rhino. It's so scrubby, that I can use it on my feet - it actually files down calluses, but is completely unsuitable for using anywhere else. We're talking red welts and injury territory here.
Unlike sugar or salt, coffee doesn't dissolve in water. It's like scrubbing yourself with ground up walnut shells, or sea-sand!
Is putting coffee in a scrub a terrible idea? Should I be using espresso-grind for a gentler effect?
