Coffee Latte

Ingredients:

Olive and coconut oils, lard; goat milk; cocoa powder, coffee grounds; ylang-ylang, sandalwood and vanilla essential oils; sodium hydroxide.

Lard or pig fat will produce creamy and stable lather. In addition, it has mild moisturizing qualities that will prevent the soap from drying the skin. Lard soap is highly compatible with the structure of the human cells.

Cocoa powder gives the soap a beautiful natural brown color. For your skin, helps to renew and firm new skin cells, promote healthy skin tissues, and it also helps promote healthy cell development. Cocoa actually contains high levels of an antioxidant called polyphenols.

Coffee grounds add exfoliation and an interesting look in soap. They are considered a large exfoliant, meaning they will be more scrubby than something fine grained like sugar.
