Instructions
Take a heat proof glass bowl/measuring cup. Add the chopped goats soap base and microwave it for one minute at 30 second intervals. If you prefer not using the microwave, you can melt it in a double boiler. It melts really fast.
Once it's fully melted, use a chopstick to mix. Add the coconut oil, pierce open a vitamin e capsule, honey and mix very well.
At this point, divide the soap base in two. Add cocoa in one with coffee and mix. In the other one, add the oatmeal and saffron and mix well.
Pour in molds. Immediately spray the top with some alcohol and let it cool down and harden.
You can speed up the process by freezing it.
You can use the soap immediately or let it cure for 1-3 weeks.
