Teach Soap

Hi all,
I recently got an order of soap-making supplies with three pounds of free cocoa butter thrown into the box (from Essential Depot, if you were wondering...) and I don't know what to do with the cocoa butter.
It smells strongly of chocolate, and I don't know how that smell will/won't persist through melting, and mixing, and curing.

Also I can't think of any good EO's to mix with it.
Maybe Sweet Orange? Florals seem inappropriate to me, but I'm at a loss here.

Any advice for somebody with too much chocolate?

Thanks!
Todd

Use it for a batch if soap and add some vanilla to it.

One of my favorite recipes has 15% cocoa butter in it and I've never noticed the chocolate smell after I pour the soap, most of my batches are either a fruity or a floral fragrance oil too.

I live about an hour away from Essential Depot so I'm pretty much drowning in cocoa butter! It makes a very nice, hard bar of soap though. My biggest problem is that I can't stop eating the cocoa butter while I'm cutting it!

Good luck and enjoy!

I've only used it in soap a couple of times, but the scent did not come through for me. I did, however, use it to make a nice whipped sugar scrub with a tad bit of peppermint eo and it gives it a really nice blended fragrance.
