Honey - 1 TBSP per pound of oils. Honey increases lather. Add to warm oils before adding lye water. Can cause soap to accelerate and overheat. Cocoa Powder: 1 TBSP per pound of oils for colorant. Add to warm oils before adding lye water. Coconut milk Powder: add to warm oils before adding lye water. Adds creaminess and lather. White Kaolin Powder - add to lye water to draw out colors. Can also add to traced soap for swirling. Will add light exfoliation. Take ¼ of the soap at trace to color with cocoa powder. Pour white base in bottom. Pour cocoa powder soap on top and swirl with hanger tool.
