Takeaways

• 😀 Nila is making a simple coffee soap in this video, and she has previously made a similar video available via a link in the description.
• 😀 The process begins with brewing coffee to make a coffee solution, which is then used to dissolve NaOH (sodium hydroxide).
• 😀 After brewing, the coffee is cooled down and filtered before being used in the soapmaking process.
• 😀 Nila uses distilled water for the NaOH solution and carefully measures the ingredients, with measurements provided in the description box.
• 😀 Once the NaOH solution cools, it is mixed with a blend of olive oil and coconut oil, and then whipped until it reaches light to medium trace.
• 😀 After reaching the desired consistency, coffee grounds (both used and fresh) are added, based on personal preference for the intensity of the coffee scrub.
• 😀 Fragrance oil, specifically coffee-scented, is mixed in for a stronger aroma, as brewed coffee alone doesn’t retain a strong scent after becoming soap.
• 😀 The mixture is poured into soap molds without any elaborate design, as the coffee grounds provide a natural texture.
• 😀 Nila decorates the top of the soap with coffee beans for added visual appeal and uses marked lines on the paper to guide cutting the soap into pieces.
• 😀 The soap is left to cure for four weeks, during which it hardens and changes color to a lighter shade.
• 😀 Nila suggests using the coffee soap as a scrub for dead skin cells, recommending it for use up to three times a week for best results.

Q & A

What is the first step in making the coffee soap in the video?

The first step is to brew the coffee, as the video creator intends to use the brewed coffee to dissolve the NaOH (sodium hydroxide).

Why is the coffee allowed to cool before being used in the soap-making process?

The coffee is cooled down before being used to ensure that the NaOH is not affected by the heat, as the NaOH solution needs to be at room temperature when mixed with the oils.

What is the purpose of straining the brewed coffee?

Straining the brewed coffee removes any coffee grounds, leaving only the liquid, which is then used to dissolve the NaOH.

What oils are used in the soap-making process?

The oils used in this process are a mixture of olive oil and coconut oil.

How does the creator know when the soap mixture reaches the right consistency?

The creator uses a mixing method until the soap reaches 'light to medium trace,' which means the mixture thickens and leaves a trace when drizzled on the surface.

How does the creator incorporate coffee into the soap mixture?

The creator adds both used coffee grounds from the brewed coffee and additional dry coffee grounds, depending on the desired intensity of the coffee scent and exfoliating effect.

What role does the fragrance oil play in the soap-making process?

The fragrance oil adds a pleasant coffee scent to the soap, as the coffee brewed for the soap doesn't provide enough fragrance on its own.

What is the purpose of placing coffee beans on top of the soap?

The coffee beans are placed on top of the soap as a decorative element and to provide an additional texture for exfoliation.

How does the creator ensure the soap is cut evenly?

The creator marks the soap with paper as a guide, ensuring that the soap is cut into even pieces.

How long does the soap need to cure before it is ready for use?

The soap needs to cure for about four weeks, during which time it hardens and the color lightens.
