The latest edition to my botanical soap collection is made with coconut milk and hibiscus flower petals. It is made with all vegetable oil, even with a touch of sesame oil too!
Since I’ve learn so much about the benefits of coconut for our skin, I’ve been wanting to add this to my soap. The coconut milk are usually used for cooking and baking.
I let all my soaps cure for about three to four weeks before using it. I have been using this for about a week and really love it. It’s a very luxurious and creamy soap.
Instead of water, I replaced it with coconut milk. Both the addition of coconut oil and coconut milk is very moisturizing. Coconut is full of antioxidant, and the oil protects and nourishes the skin.
I also added ground hibiscus. This hibiscus flower is normally used in making tea. Hibiscus flower is full of Vitamin C and would also be great for your skin.
I thought the bright color of the petals would seep into the soap, but it didn’t. The best part is the ground hibiscus petals added a nice exfoliation of the skin too.
Ingredients: Coconut milk, Safflower oil, Canola oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil, Sesame oil, and Hibiscus petals.
